Care Advice:
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. A position near a well-lit window, out of direct sunlight, is ideal. Avoid deep shade.
- Watering: Water moderately, allowing the top 2–3 cm of compost to dry out between waterings. Reduce frequency in winter and avoid waterlogging at all times.
- Temperature: Thrives between 16–24°C. Keep away from cold draughts, open windows in winter and the direct heat of radiators.
- Humidity: Benefits from moderate to high humidity. Occasional misting or placing the pot on a pebble tray with water can help in drier indoor environments.
- Feeding: Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser once a month during the active growing season (spring through summer).
- Repotting: Repot every two to three years in spring once roots begin to emerge from the base of the pot, moving up one pot size at a time.
- Leaf Drop: It is entirely normal for Ficus Danielle to shed some leaves when first moved to a new location. This is a natural response to environmental change. Keep conditions stable and the plant will recover and settle within a few weeks.
