Care & Instructions1. Select a site with bright filtered light.Early-morning or late-afternoon sun is fine but avoid an area that gets direct sun all day. 2. Avoid overwatering your ficus! The most common mistake people make is to add more water once the leaves begin to turn yellow. This is the opposite of what you should do. Always feel the surface of the soil with your finger tip. If it feels dry to the touch one inch below the surface it is time to water. If the soil still feels moist withhold water for a day or two.
