Basic Care Tips and Tricks:
1. Ficus like to dry out 75% of the way before another drink - they don't want to completely dry out but also don't want to be wet all the time!
2. Ficus like as much light as possible! In their natural habitat they are umbrella trees - so they get the most light in the forest!
3. To get ficus to branch you can force defoliate it - cut the apex (the top of the tree) and watch for the branches to grow from the side!
