Ficus lyrata
Soil and repotting
Ficus lyrata prefers loose, well-drained soil. It is recommended to use a mixture of peat, leaf humus and perlite.
Spring is a good time to repot every year. Choose a new pot that is one size larger than the original pot and ensure good drainage.
Light and temperature
Ficus lyrata needs sufficient light, but should avoid strong direct light. It can be placed near the window to ensure at least 4-6 hours of light per day.
The best growth temperature is 25℃ to 35℃. It is not cold-resistant and should be kept above 15℃ in winter. It may be frozen below 5℃.
Watering and fertilization
Watering should follow the principle of "see dry and see wet", that is, water after the soil surface is slightly dry, and water thoroughly each time.
During the growth period, apply thin liquid fertilizer or compound fertilizer every 10-15 days. Pay attention to appropriately reduce fertilization during high temperatures in summer and low temperatures in winter.
