LIKES: Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Prefers warm temperatures and moderate humidity. It enjoys consistent care but is quite adaptable, making it perfect for indoor environments.
DISLIKES: Overwatering can be harmful—allow the soil to dry out between waterings. It also dislikes cold drafts and direct sunlight, which can cause the leaves to scorch.
HEALTH BENEFITS: Known for its air-purifying qualities, the Ficus Burgundy helps remove harmful toxins from the air, such as formaldehyde and benzene. It also adds a refreshing, natural element to your space.
WATERING AND FEEDING: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot. Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season for healthy growth.
LIVING WITH PETS AND CHILDREN: Toxic if ingested, so keep it out of reach of pets and small children. Its sap can cause mild skin irritation, so handle carefully.
