Thrives Guaranteed or We Fix It

• Standard-form ficus trees are topiary-trained specimens featuring a single trunk topped with a rounded crown of foliage
• Originally native to tropical regions of Asia and Australia, ficus varieties are prized for their adaptability and glossy evergreen leaves
• The compact crown form makes this an ideal choice for formal gardens, courtyards, and container growing
• Popular for their low-maintenance nature and ability to thrive both indoors and outdoors in suitable climates
• Creates instant structure and height in garden designs while remaining manageable in size

• Water when top 2-3cm of soil feels dry, typically every 7-10 days in warmer months, less frequently in winter
• Position in bright, indirect light indoors or filtered morning sun outdoors - protect from harsh afternoon sun
• Use well-draining potting mix with good organic content and ensure containers have drainage holes
• Feed monthly with balanced liquid fertiliser during spring and summer growing season
• Prune lightly to maintain shape in early spring, removing any dead or crossing branches
• Mist regularly indoors to maintain humidity levels and wipe leaves clean monthly
• Protect from temperatures below 10°C and bring potted plants indoors during cold snaps

• Provide bright, indirect light indoors or filtered sunlight outdoors - avoid harsh afternoon sun which can scorch leaves
• Water deeply when top 2-3cm of soil feels dry, allowing excess water to drain completely
• Maintain humidity around 40-60% indoors by misting regularly or using a humidity tray
• Keep temperatures between 18-24°C for optimal growth, protecting from cold drafts and frost
• Reduce watering in winter when growth slows and increase feeding in spring and summer growing seasons

• Scale insects can attach to stems and leaves, causing yellowing and sticky honeydew - treat with horticultural oil or systemic insecticide
• Overwatering leads to root rot and leaf drop - ensure soil drains well and reduce watering frequency
• Spider mites may appear in hot, dry conditions causing fine webbing and leaf stippling - increase humidity and spray with miticide
• Fungal leaf spot can develop in humid conditions with poor air circulation - improve ventilation and avoid overhead watering
• Aphids may cluster on new growth tips - spray off with water or use insecticidal soap
