Description
These thick waxy leaves are soft pink with dark green and sage splotched variegation. Plant in well draining soil and water thoroughly only when almost dry. Bright indirect light is a perfect spot to keep this one happy. These ficus can get rootbound quickly and the soil may need aerated with a chopstick occasionally to allow water to penetrate soil. Fertilize once per month with generic houseplant food spring through late summer.Additional information
