Weeping Fig

Weeping figs (Ficus Benjamin) are popular house plants that purify the air of pollutants, including formaldehyde and benzene. They also enhance creativity and clear the mind. This plant is safe for homes and offices however, it should be kept away from pets, because its leaves can be toxic ingestion. Weeping figs make ideal houseplants for people with busy schedules because they are simple to maintain. Just be sure to follow the potting, watering, fertilizing, and lighting routine to keep your fig happy and healthy.

The weeping fiddle is native to Australia and parts of the southwest Pacific, including French Polynesia, Vanuatu, India, China and southeast Asia. It is often found in tropical greenhouses, but can flourish in your home if provided with the proper conditions.

These plants prefer direct, bright sunlight and constant temperatures. They are sensitive to changes in moisture and may drop leaves if there is not enough or too much. If you notice that your weeping fiddle is losing its leaves move it to a better location with a consistent light. However, be careful not to overwater it; If the upper few centimeters of soil are dry, allow it to rest. In the spring and summer you can fertilize your weeping fig at least twice a month, using the standard liquid food product that has been reduced at minimum 50 percent. Avoid fertilizing the plant during the winter months, and in the fall, when it is dormant.

The weeping fig's beauty is not only beautiful, but it can also be trained to develop into a variety of shapes. The stems are flexible and can be braided, spiraled, and twisted to create decorative designs. They are also ideal for bonsai gardens.

Weeping figs can grow as high as 10 feet in the wild. However, they typically stay between 3 and 6ft in containers. Weeping figs are simple to propagate from stem cuttings. When propagating, wear gloves, since the sap may be an irritant. Plant the cuttings in a well-draining soil for potting, or amend rich soil with vermiculite or perlite to improve drainage.


Weeping figs, as with most Ficus species are easy to care for, but their size makes them difficult to repot. If your weeping fig has to be repotted, select an extra large pot with drainage holes and soil that is similar in texture to the original container. You may have to add additional drainage, like vermiculite or perlite in the soil to prevent root rot.

According to feng-shui, they bring prosperity and luck to the home. This plant is simple to maintain and is tolerant of dim light conditions. It is also a great choice for home offices or living rooms so long as it's not exposed to drafts or heat or cooling vents that can dry the air.

In the indoors, it doesn't usually produce flowers, but it can produce shiny green leaves and long branching stems topped with five to seven leaflets. These beautiful plants are great for anyone who is just beginning and wants to add more greenery to their living spaces.

Money trees thrive in bright indirect sun However, they can also adapt to less than ideal conditions. It also thrives in medium temperatures and a moderate humidity. It is a bit sensitive to sudden temperature changes So be sure to keep it away from heaters, air conditioners, and doors that open and shut frequently. Overwatering could damage the delicate leaves, so allow the soil time to dry between waterings. Fertilize your money tree each month in the spring and summer with a liquid houseplant fertiliser at half strength.

Money plants are a great present for a student who is heading to college or an employee who has recently started a new job. They symbolize the beginning of a new chapter in their life. It's also a great present for friends and family who might need a bit of extra luck.

Fill a small pot with Miracle-Gro Indoor Potting Mix or another nutrient-rich and well-draining houseplant mix. Give it a few weeks to allow roots to develop and then move the plant to its container of its own.

Ficus

Ficus, also known as banyan trees or fig plants, add interest to bright office spaces. The most well-known species is Ficus benjamina, a basic weeping ficus with a thick trunk and a prominent poppy-shaped burst of fluttery leaves at the top. The tree can grow to about 6 feet tall but is usually kept smaller in a home or office. As house plants , ficus trees and trails are popular. Ficus trees can be relatively easy to care for as long as they are provided with the right conditions.

Indoor ficus plants require moderate to bright lighting and mist frequently. They aren't fond of drafts, but can tolerate warm temperatures. If they are used to the weather and tolerate it, they will be happy to be moved outdoors in the summer. However direct sunlight can cause burns to their leaves. They will benefit from being moved to a warmer room in winter, but be sure to not expose them to frost.

Most ficus are fast-growing and need to be regularly repotted, preferably every year or in the case that the roots fill up more than three quarters of the pot. They require well-drained soil and should be fertilized monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the summer and spring months, and every other month during the winter and fall.

Ficus can be a victim of mites, scale insects, mealybugs, whiteflies, and Aphids. Throw away any infested leaves and use neem oil to rid the plant of these pests. Sometimes, ficus plants develop leaf spot disease, which causes leaves to be spotted with white. The infection is not harmful, but it could be a nuisance. It is best to remove it from the leaves of the plant using a wet cloth or sponge.

Monstera

Monstera deliciosa is a large, beautiful houseplant that thrives at warm temperatures and moderate to high humidity. They can be easily propagated from cuttings and roots well in water, but they shouldn't be kept in water for an extended period of time since this can cause the fungus to develop. They can be grown outside and prefer indirect sunlight.

This cactus-like plant grows in its native environment under the canopy of tall trees, and can absorb sunlight through the leaves. It thrives in indirect sunlight and enjoys bright direct light. It also loves climbing and therefore will appreciate being encouraged to utilize a trellis or moss-covered pole in order to help it reach its full potential.

While this plant is not an unruly houseplant, it is prone to the same pests that plague other indoor plants and requires special attention to avoid damage. It is crucial to check it frequently for spider mites and scale insects. If you find them, treat the area with an insecticide that is mild.

Water only when the top inch or two of soil is dry. The plant loves humidity and therefore misting it often or every two weeks is beneficial.

This plant is a great indoor/outdoor houseplant in warm humid and humid climates However, it's also ideal option for a greenhouse or sunny window. When it's grown in a container it prefers a loose, loamy mix with plenty of organic material. The container should be fitted with drainage holes to stop the soil from becoming sloppy.

This large houseplant likes bright light, but is able to thrive in any lighting source. It can be grown in any pot provided that there are drainage holes and extra peat added to the potting mixture. This plant requires a consistent supply of nutrients, so it is recommended to fertilize it every two to three weeks during the growing season with an appropriate water-soluble fertilizer.
