Botany Encyclopedia

Species : Ficus pandurata

🏝️ Habitat Conditions

It primarily inhabits Southeast Asia. It is found in tropical rainforests and prefers warm and humid environments. It is sensitive to cold and cannot survive outdoors in winter.

🪨 Soil Mix

It is best to plant in well-draining soil. A common mix ratio is 40% potting soil, 20% bark, 20% leaf mold, 10% perlite, and 10% charcoal. This can vary depending on conditions and environment.

🌡️ Environment

Temperature: Maintain between 16-24°C, with a minimum of 10°C. Since the plant is sensitive to cold, keep it above 10°C. Humidity: Thrives in normal indoor humidity levels of 40-60%.

👀 Characteristics details

Thick leaves store moisture, making the plant resistant to dryness. Initially, the leaves appear red but turn green over time. Dust on the leaves can hinder photosynthesis, so it's advisable to wipe them regularly. Cutting leaves or branches releases a white sap, which may cause allergic reactions in some people, so caution is needed.

☀️ Light

It is better for houseplants to receive indirect light for a longer period than direct sunlight.

💧 Water

Water when the topsoil is dry. This plant can store moisture in its leaves, making it more resistant to dryness compared to other plants.

🌱 Propagate

Propagation is typically done by cutting a 10-20 cm branch at an angle with sterilized tools, drying it for 3-4 hours, and then placing it in soil or water. 1. For water propagation, avoid using a transparent container. Place the stem in water, and once roots appear, add hydroponic fertilizer. If roots are longer than 5-7 cm, transfer the plant to soil. 2. For soil propagation, plant the cutting deeply in soil without fertilizer. After propagation, avoid exposing the plant to bright light. Gradually increase light exposure to help it adapt to gentle light. Maintain high humidity and a temperature of 20-25°C.

🪴 Repot

Repot every 1-2 years due to its relatively fast growth rate.

💊 Fertilize

Using fertilizer once during spring and summer, while adhering to the recommended amount, can promote more vigorous growth.
