This popular houseplant requires special care and the right choice of container.
When choosing a pot for a ficus, it is necessary to take into account a number of nuances that will help keep the indoor plant healthy.
No hole
The presence of a drainage hole is one of the most important characteristics of the container.
This hole is necessary to remove excess moisture that may accumulate in the pot, said expert Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
Incorrect volume
When replanting a ficus, the size of the root system should be taken into account.
Determine what size pot the ficus should be based on the volume of the plant's roots.
If the pot is too big, this can lead to compaction of the soil and make it difficult for air to reach the roots.
Experts advise choosing a container that is a few centimeters larger in volume than the previous one.
