Care Tips


The Ficus Lyrata Bambino enjoys bright, indirect light, so place it near a window where it can get plenty of natural light but not direct rays. Water the plant when the top layer of soil is dry, and make sure to let it dry out between waterings to avoid root rot. During the growing season, feed monthly with a balanced fertilizer. Regularly dust the large leaves to keep them looking fresh and glossy.
