Horty Hints
Feeling thirsty? Ficus Moclame prefers its soil to be slightly moist at all times. Underwatering can lead to browning crispy leaves.
Insufficient light can trigger leaf drop. Find a spot with plenty of indirect sunlight and your plant should quickly recover.
Give your Ficus a trim to maintain the desired shape, but be aware that sticky latex will ooze from the ends of the cut stems! This can be an irritant, so make sure to wash your hands if any comes into contact with your skin.
