Ficus Carica - Rouge De Bordeux - 9Cm Pot

Yes, it thrives in a conservatory or bright, warm room, though it requires a dormant period in cooler temperatures during winter.

No, Ficus Carica is deciduous. It naturally loses its leaves every year between November and May.

While hardy, it prefers a sheltered and warm position. In colder climates, keeping it in a pot allows you to move it to protection during winter.

During the growing season, keep the soil moist. During the winter dormancy, water very sparingly to keep the roots from drying out completely.

As a strong, established plant, it is bred for productivity, but fruit yield will depend on providing optimal sunlight and warmth during the growing season.

This is normal behavior for a deciduous plant. Reduce watering and move to a cool, frost-free location for the winter.

Ensure the plant is receiving enough direct heat and sunlight during the late summer and early autumn months.

Repot the plant into a container that is 2-3 inches larger in diameter using a high-quality, free-draining compost.
