SAVE your FICUS from these 4 common problems!

The first and most basic reason why Ficus dies or loses its beauty is constantly wet soil in a pot.

As a result, the roots begin to rot, the leaves dry up, and finally, you have to buy a new plant. To avoid this, remember that Ficus should be watered only when the soil dries out. If you already have such a problem, the plant must be removed from the pot and the root system examined for rot. Leave only good roots and plant in a new soil mix.

Ficus leaves may turn yellow due to a draft from the air conditioner. Even if you move the plant from one room to another with different conditions (temperature, humidity, amount of light), there is a chance that the ficus leaves may turn yellow. However, after some time, the plant is likely to adapt and return to its previous color.

Overly frequent feeding can also lead to yellowing of Ficus leaves. Feeding should be carried out only during the growth period.

If everything is fine with the listed problems, but at the same time you notice rusty spots on the leaves and young shoots, It’s most likely Anthracnose.

With the further development of such a disease, the leaf dies and falls off. New leaves do not develop well and may also curl. Only one thing will help: you need to isolate the plant, remove the damaged parts of the plant and treat the Ficus with a systemic fungicide. These are substances that can move through the vascular system of plants and protect the new growth that has appeared after processing. You can buy it at any store that specializes in plant care.
