Care Tips for Your Ficus Lyrata

• Sunlight: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight. It can tolerate some direct morning sun but should be protected from harsh afternoon rays.
• Watering: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Avoid overwatering, as it is prone to root rot. Use a pot with drainage holes.
• Soil: Thrives in well-draining soil; a mix of potting soil with perlite or sand works best.
• Temperature: Grows well in warm temperatures (18–24°C). Avoid exposure to cold drafts or temperatures below 15°C.
• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity. Mist occasionally or use a humidifier if the air is dry.
• Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during spring and summer. Reduce feeding in winter.
