Ficus Nitida "Indian Laurel Fig" single stem

Ficus nitida, commonly known as Indian Laurel Fig, is a versatile and popular evergreen tree often used as a decorative indoor plant. Ficus nitida features glossy, dark green leaves that are oval to elliptical in shape. The leaves are typically dense, creating a lush canopy. When grown indoors, Ficus nitida can be maintained as a small to medium-sized tree, depending on pruning and container size. It can reach heights of 6 to 10 feet indoors, but it is adaptable to pruning and can be kept smaller if desired.

Ficus nitida has an attractive and symmetrical growth habit, making it a popular choice for indoor landscaping. It adds a touch of greenery and elegance to indoor spaces.

• Light: Ficus nitida prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Place it near a window where it can receive filtered sunlight throughout the day. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, as intense sunlight can scorch the leaves.

• Watering: Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out between waterings, then water the plant thoroughly, ensuring that excess water drains away from the pot. Water less frequently during the winter months when growth slows down.

• Fertilization: Feed Ficus nitida with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing during the winter months when growth slows down.

• Pruning: Trim back any leggy or overgrown stems as needed to maintain the plant's appearance and overall health. You can also prune to shape the plant or control its size.

By following these care tips, you can keep your indoor Ficus nitida healthy, vibrant, and thriving, enjoying its attractive foliage and elegant presence as a decorative accent in your home.
