Maintenance
Ficus Cone is relatively low-maintenance, making it an excellent choice for busy homeowners and gardeners. Here’s how to care for it:
Watering: While Ficus Cone is drought-tolerant once established, it thrives best with consistent watering, especially during the hotter months. Water the plant deeply, ensuring the soil is moist but not waterlogged.
Soil: The plant prefers well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil. Ensure the soil is rich in organic matter to support healthy growth.
Sunlight: Ficus Cone enjoys full sun and will flourish when exposed to at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. In Dubai’s climate, be sure to plant it in a location that receives adequate sunlight without being too shaded.
Pruning: Regular pruning helps maintain the plant’s conical shape and promotes bushier growth. Trim back any overgrown branches to retain its compact form, especially after the blooming period.
Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring to encourage healthy growth and maintain vibrant foliage.
