Adopting and caring for Ficus Starlight

Adopting: Adding a healthy, well-grown Ficus Starlight to a plant collection is a feeling only a plant parent can understand. At eplants, we bring you display-ready plants with high-quality growth, compact shape and well-formed leaves.
Locating: Strong, direct sunlight can burn the leaves of a Ficus, so it is better to grow them in well lit yet slightly shaded areas. If you are growing them indoors, or a well-shaded balcony we recommend that you move the plant around to a spot that has better light once every few weeks
Potting: Since these plants are natives of Asia, they need rich and fast-draining soil. They do well in a 30:30:30:10 mix of coco-peat, compost, coarse sand and Perlite
Watering: Ficus needs less watering than most other plants. It’s a good idea to hold off watering them until the top layer of soil dry to touch. Drooping or yellowing leaves could indicate over-watering or poor drainage
Fertilising: If your potting mix is right, these plants will not require too much fertiliser. However, nourishing them with an organic liquid fertiliser two or three times a year will help them do well. If you are using a chemical mix, ensure that they don’t touch the stalk or its leaves. This could damage the plant.
