I like the article Ficus lyrata Is an evergreen; during winter iIt assumes a green colouring; the adult specimens are medium in size and reach 2,5 m high. When growing these plants tend to go up, developing very little in width, and they tend to have a columnar development. These plants are shrubs. Feed Ficus lyrata
During the spring let’s regularly use a fertilizer rich with nitrogen and potassium to favour the development of the new vegetation; fertilization is done by adding fertilizer to the irrigating water, every 15-20 days. Temperatures Ficus lyrata
Let's avoid exposing the The Ficus lyrata to temperatures below 15°C. During late Spring we can place them outdoors, possibly sheltered by the wind. Locate this plant in a partially shaded place, where it is exposed to solar rays during the coolest hours of the day.We suggest locating the vases in a pretty bright place, although avoiding direct sunlight, which could damage the foliage. Irrigation Ficus lyrata
We suggest watering the The Ficus lyrata every 1-2 weeks with 2-3 glasses of water , which means when the soil has been dry for days; if the season should be very hot and arid we can intensify the quantity of irrigations, although we must avoid leaving the substratum soaked with water. It is advisable to water the plants avoiding to leave water in the saucer, because stagnant water often develops fungal diseases. Adversity Ficus lyrata
As the day-time temperatures rise at the beginning of the spring, it is agreeable to practice a preventive treatment, with a wide-range insecticide, which should be applied when there aren’t flowerings in the garden. Before the buds become too large, it is advisable to also treat them with a wide-range fungicide, to prevent the development of fungal diseases which spread easily when there is an elevated environmental moisture. Substrate Ficus lyrata
These plants favour soft and very well drained soils. We suggest, every 2-3 years to repot the plants, changing the soil.
