Ficus deltoidea

Origin: Native to Southeast Asia, known for my unique, triangular leaves and small fig-like fruits.

Light: Provide bright, indirect light. I thrive in filtered sunlight or partial shade, making me perfect for indoor spaces with good natural light.

Temperature: Keep me warm please! I'm sensitive to cold temperatures, so protect me from drafts and frost.

Humidity: I appreciate moderate humidity levels. Mist my leaves occasionally or place me near a humidifier to maintain humidity, especially in dry indoor environments.

Watering: Allow my soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Water me thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, but avoid letting me sit in water to prevent root rot.

Soil: Plant me in well-draining soil. A mixture of peat moss, perlite, and potting soil works well to provide good drainage and aeration.

Fertilization: Feed me with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in fall and winter.

Pruning: Prune me to maintain my shape and remove any dead or damaged leaves. Regular pruning can also encourage bushier growth.

Propagation: I can be propagated from stem cuttings. Take a cutting from a healthy stem, remove the lower leaves, and plant it in moist potting mix. Roots will develop within a few weeks.

Pests/Diseases: Watch out for pests like scale insects, mealybugs, and spider mites. Treat any infestations promptly with insecticidal soap. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.
