How to care for a Ficus Microcarpa Ginseng
Watering a Ficus Microcarpa Ginseng
A Ficus Microcarpa Ginseng needs regular but moderate watering to maintain beautiful, firm leaves. Water once a week and ensure the top 2 cm of the potting soil feels dry before watering again. Ensure excess water can drain away properly through the drainage system, for example, using hydroponic clays in the pot.
Light for a Ficus Microcarpa Ginseng
This plant prefers a spot with bright, indirect light. Avoid direct midday sunlight near warm windows, as this can burn the leaves. A location near an east- or west-facing window is ideal for healthy growth.
Is the Ficus Microcarpa Ginseng poisonous?
The Ficus Microcarpa Ginseng is mildly toxic to pets if large quantities of leaves are ingested. Therefore, it's best to place the plant in an elevated spot for children and cats. Be aware that the sap can cause mild skin irritation upon contact.
Different types of Ficus Microcarpa
There are some interesting varieties within the Ficus family that are worth exploring:
Common problems with Ficus Microcarpa Ginseng
Yellow leaves
Yellow leaves can indicate irregular watering or insufficient light. Check that the potting soil isn't constantly too wet or too dry. Adjust the watering cycle if necessary and ensure a bright location.
Dripping Ficus Microcarpa Ginseng
Sometimes the plant drips tiny droplets from the underside of the leaves; this is guttation and is usually harmless. It mainly occurs at night when the humidity is high and the potting soil is sufficiently moist. Ensure good air circulation and avoid an overly humid environment.
Pests in Ficus Microcarpa Ginseng
Mealy bugs, scale insects, and spider mites can settle between the leaves and on the stem. Inspect your plant regularly and, if an infestation starts, treat it with a natural spray or check out our sticky traps for fungus gnats. For comprehensive pest control, you can read more in our article about what is perlite and other pest control tips.
Roots go at the bottom of the pot
When the roots grow out of the drainage holes, it's time to repot. Choose a pot one size larger and use fresh potting soil for ficus (5l) or our all-purpose potting soil from the potting soil and accessories collection. Repotting stimulates new growth and prevents root suffocation.
Brown edges on the leaves
Brown leaf edges often indicate overly dry air or too much direct sunlight. Increase the humidity by regularly spraying with a plant mister or placing a humidifier nearby. Reduce sunlight during the hottest hours and, if necessary, move the plant a little further from the window.
