African Fig

The African Fig belongs to the Ficus family, originating from the tropical rainforests.

In the wild, the African Fig can grow up to 5m tall.

Ficus plants contain latex, a milky sap that oozes out of the glossy leaves and woody stems if they are scratched or cut.  The latex can be irritating to the eyes and skin, so handle the plant carefully and wash your hands thoroughly if you do touch any of the sap.

Water when top 3-4cm of soil becomes dry.

Feed every 4 weeks from spring to early autumn with a nitrogen based fertiliser.

Moderate light

Water with lukewarm water to prevent leaf drop
