Ficus Tree Care Summary: Water, Light, Fertilizer

Quick-reference Ficus (Weeping Fig) care:

Water

Once weekly (adjust for conditions). Allow soil to dry between waterings. Never overwater—soggy soil kills roots.

Loves sun. Direct south/west window ideal. Bright indirect minimum.

Monthly (spring–fall) with balanced formula. Skip winter.

Observe your plant—adjust water/light based on response, not calendar.
