Plantation

  1. Location: Choose a bright, indirect light location for your Ficus Benjamina 'Macrophylla'. Avoid placing it near drafts, heating or cooling vents, or direct sunlight.
  2. Soil: Use a well-draining soil mix, such as a combination of peat moss, perlite, and potting soil.

Care

  1. Pruning: Regularly prune your Ficus Benjamina 'Macrophylla' to maintain its shape and encourage branching. Remove dead or diseased branches to promote healthy growth.
  2. Pest control: Inspect your plant for pests such as mealybugs, spider mites, or scale insects. Treat any infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
  3. Repotting: Repot your Ficus Benjamina 'Macrophylla' every 2-3 years, moving it to a container one size larger each time. Be cautious not to damage the roots while repotting.
