Ficus Long Island thrives in well-draining soil, with watering required when the top inch of soil is dry. Place it in bright, indirect sunlight, though it can adapt to lower light conditions. Maintain a consistent temperature, protecting the plant from drafts. Fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer to support healthy growth. Pruning can be done to shape the plant and encourage bushier growth. Regularly wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and maintain the glossy appearance of the foliage.
