Hey! Just got my first ficus and I’d love some care details on it! I’ve never owned one before.

They love light. I let mine dry out completely before watering again.

Perfect thank you!! Seems easy enough! How about humidity?

#### Plant Dad replied on 2025-11-23

Humidity where I am, for the most part, averages 55%-75%. It does drop down at times to 20%-30% though and it does fine. I put mine in the shower at least once a month and spray it down good and wipe the leaves off.
