How to grow and care for Ficus robusta

Ficus robusta grows best indoors in New Zealand in a bright spot with indirect sunlight. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight as this can scorch the leaves. Use a well-draining potting mix and water when the top few centimetres of soil are dry. Keep temperatures above 12°C and avoid cold draughts. Wipe the leaves regularly to keep them clean and glossy. Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser to support healthy growth.
