How to plant the Ficus in a pot?
This houseplant is delivered in a standard growers pot. It’s best for the growth of the Ficus to plant it in a decorative planter. Select a pot that is at least 20 percent larger than the growers pot.
Cover the bottom of the decorative planter with a layer of potting soil. Does the decorative pot have a hole? Then start with a layer of hydro grains, so the water can drain away. The Ficus should be 1 to 2 cm below the rim. Remove the growers pot and place the plant in the middle of the decorative pot. Fill the pot with fresh potting soil and press it down slightly.

How to take care of the Ficus?
The Ficus is a real jungle plant you have to water regularly. Try to keep the soil moist and check this every now and then by pressing your finger into the soil. The plant should certainly not be standing in a layer of water.
The Ficus likes a light spot and direct sunlight. Turn the plant now and then, so the leaves can get enough light. Don't place the Ficus in a draught. It will harm the plant. Spray the plant occasionally to remove dust.
