Ficus El Dorado

Light: Place your Ficus El Dorado in a bright location with indirect light. Avoid direct sun exposure, especially during the hottest hours of the day, as this can burn the leaves.

Temperature: This plant prefers moderate temperatures between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius. Avoid cold drafts and extreme temperatures.

Watering: Water your Ficus El Dorado regularly, allowing the substrate to dry slightly between each watering. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. In winter, reduce watering as the plant needs less water during its dormant period.

Humidity: Like many tropical plants, Ficus El Dorado appreciates high ambient humidity. You can increase the humidity around the plant by placing a tray of water with pebbles under the pot or by using a humidifier.

Fertilization: Fertilize your Ficus El Dorado with a diluted balanced fertilizer approximately once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing during winter when the plant is at rest.

Pruning: Prune your Ficus El Dorado as needed to control its size and shape. You can also remove dead or damaged branches to encourage healthy growth.

Cleaning: Regularly wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and maintain a clean surface, which will also promote photosynthesis.
