Light:
- Ficus/Chinese Banyan trees thrive in bright, indirect light. Place them in a location where they receive filtered sunlight. They can also tolerate some direct sunlight, but too much can lead to leaf burn.
Watering:
- Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out before watering again. Adjust the frequency based on the season – they may need more water in the growing season and less during the dormant period.
Soil:
- Use a well-draining, rich potting mix. A mix containing peat, perlite, and pine bark works well for Chinese Banyan trees. Make sure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
Temperature and Humidity:
- Chinese Banyan trees prefer warm temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C). They can tolerate lower temperatures briefly, but it’s essential to protect them from frost. Maintain a moderate to high humidity level, especially if you’re growing them indoors. Misting the leaves can help increase humidity.
Pruning and Maintenance:
- Regular pruning helps maintain the shape and size of the Chinese Banyan tree. Remove dead or yellowing leaves, and trim back excessive growth. Prune with clean, sharp tools to prevent damage to the plant. Additionally, fertilize the tree during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer, following the package instructions.
