Repotting: Healthy specimens are fast-growing plants with aggressive root systems (which is pretty typical for any ficus). Try to repot the plant annually, stepping up the pot size 2 to 4- until the plant reaches the desired size or until you can-TMt manage the container anymore. Once plants are in large containers, scrape off the top few inches of soil and replace with fresh potting soil annually.

Growing Conditions

Tips: This plant does not like to be turned or be moved frequently. Position the plant permanently and keep it clean by dusting with an old T-shirt. Stake and prune as needed. Ficus lyrata will only keep leaves that face the light; leaves facing a darker wall or corner will not last. Expect your ficus to loose leaves if you move or re-position the plant.

Light: Ficus lyrata require bright, filtered light. They can even tolerate some sun, especially if placed in an eastern-facing window. Plants that are kept too dark will fail to grow rapidly.

Water: Keep moist, but don-TMt allow it to sit in water or it will drop leaves and suffer from root rot.

Soil: A good, fast-draining potting soil will do nicely.

Fertilizer: Apply Maxsea All Purpose fertilizer seasonally and up to monthly for plants not in perfect conditions, or recovering from stress.
