Here are some step-by-step instructions for taking care of your Ficus alii Amstel Queen:
Light: Ficus alii Amstel Queen thrives in bright, indirect light. However, it can survive in medium light as well. The lower the light, the longer it takes to produce new leaves. Rotate the plant weekly to maintain its beautiful shape.
Water: Water the plant when the top 1 inch of soil has dried out. If the plant is in a container larger than 12 inches, wait until the top 2 inches of soil has dried out. Water deeply so that excess water drains out of the drip holes in the bottom of the pot. Immediately empty excess water and do not allow a ficus alii to sit in water. Overwatering can cause new growth to turn black and green leaves to fall off.
Fertilizer: Feed monthly with a well-balanced liquid fertilizer when the plant is actively growing. It is not necessary to feed the plant during winter and fall.
Temperature: Ficus alii Amstel Queen is suitable for the GCC’s climate and can withstand temperatures up to 40°C.
Humidity: Ficus alii Amstel Queen prefers medium humidity but still grows well in basic household humidity.
Soil: Use a good, all-purpose, well-aerated potting soil.
Pot Size: The roots of ficus alii plants grow very slowly, so don’t be in a rush to move the plant to a larger pot. If the roots are coming out of the drainage holes, then it is time to repot it.
Please note that these are general guidelines and your plant’s specific needs may vary depending on factors such as humidity, temperature, and light conditions.
