Plant Care
Ficus Black thrives in well-draining soil, requiring watering when the top inch of soil is dry. While it appreciates bright, indirect sunlight, it can adapt to lower light conditions. Maintain a consistent temperature and protect it from drafts. Fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Prune selectively to control size and shape. Regularly clean the leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and maintain the plant's dark, velvety appearance.
