Ficuses are the most common plant for growing and care for it at home. In this regard, in a large number of people who have decided to make ficuses, there are many issues related to the cultivation and breeding of these colors.

If you consider all aspects of the care of ficus at home, this flower will become a beautiful and elegant decoration of your interior. Remember that this plant loves care and attention. Without them, he will lose the leaves and will lose his attractive appearance.

In this article, we collected answers to a wide range of issues related to the care of ficuses at home. Also here are the advice on how to choose the ficus, pick up a vase for it, how to replant, multiply and treat from diseases.

What are the rules for care for fakes at home need to be performed so that these plants have a healthy appearance? How do ficuses pour, spread? Where are they better to post?

Lighting

Ficuses should be placed in well-lit places. The abundance of light is the most important condition for good feelings of ficuses. Species having dark green leaves make a greater shading than the voyage and do not like the direct sun. Peppercut species can be placed on the open sun, being contacted in particularly hot summer days.

In winter, during a short day, ficuses need additional lighting. The lack of light in the winter is the main reason that the ficus falls out the leaves. It is advisable to purchase a special lamp and freeze ficuses so that the plants get light for at least 12 hours a day.

To form a beautiful crown during an active growth, it is necessary to turn plants from time to time with different sides to the light source.

Air humidity

This plant loves in high humidity.

  • Although this condition is not so obligatory for him, it is advisable to regularly spray the ficus or arrange a souls.
  • A variety of ficuses with large leaves collect a lot of dust, which prevents plants to eat properly, and it looks ugly.

Leaves for such species need from time to time to wipe with a wet sponge.

Temperature

Ficus - the plant is thermal-loving. Comfortable temperature for it: in summer - 25-30 degrees C, in winter - 16-20 degrees C. The minimum temperature is 10-15 degrees with (for green-shaft species, a lower temperature is allowed than for volatile).

Unwanted for ficus strokes and soil ploying. No need to put it on a cold window sill or floor.

Watering

Proper watering is another important condition for the content of ficuses. In summer, they need abundant watering, in winter - moderate. The soil between irrigation should be sinking, but do not dispel, ficus - the plant is moisture. However, in cool conditions for ficuses, there may be a dangerous meal of soil. At the same time, they begin to heat the roots and, sometimes, the base of the stem.

Ampelized species require more abundant watering than usual.

Podkord

Ficuses fertilize in the period of active growth, i.e. from March to September. The feeding is made 1 time in two weeks. Fertilizers must be used with the predominance of a nitric component that stimulates the growth of the greenery.

Reproduction

They are easily multiplied with cuttings. For rooting, a small twig is cut, although even a small cutken with one leaf is quite enough. The cuttings are placed in water or soil mixture.

  • You can use soil heating, stroke cuttings glass jar Or a polyethylene package, so rooting will occur faster.
  • But without this, the cuttings are easy to survive.
  • Many types of ficuses in the process of growing need to form a crown with trimming and pinching.

Transfer

Ficuses grow very quickly, so they require an annual transplant. Large recreation specimens do not transplant, they replace the top of the soil. Picuses require a nutritious earth mix. There is a special primer on sale, you can use the universal soil.

Transplanted ficuses in March, the pot for transplant must be taken not too big, because The excess of the land they do not like, the growth of the ficus in this case slows down. A drainage layer should be placed in the pot.

Diseases and pests

Ficuses are rarely affected by diseases and pests, but it happens that they are attacked by shields, trips or cobed tickiR.

Accommodation

In my opinion, the first rule in care of Ficus at home - Do not disturb once again and not overdo it. What I mean. When I got a stalk of the ficus from the same lover of colors as herself, he immediately defined a permanent pot and a permanent place for him.

And therefore, after the cuttings have launched the roots, rooted it into a fairly spacious (but still not huge) Vazon. And immediately put this container to the place where it will grow constantly. After all, the main feature of the ficuses - they do not like a sharp change of location and frequent transplant. The resulting leaves can become the result of your uncertainty.

Right watering

The second very important rule in the care of ficuses is the right watering mode. Also, water should be used only a little warm and resistant. If this flower watered a little, the soil will dry, and the leaves will also shine and begin to fall.


It is necessary to water this principle - if the land mixture dried by 1-2 phalanges of the finger - it's time. For large copies, it is permissible to dry up the Earth and to a depth of 6 - 7 cm.

Wet air

Ficks come from the tropics, so the wet air is vital. Especially amply varieties of this plant. Ficus care at home involves a mandatory spraying. Watch the water to be warm and soft (rescued). When spraying on the leaves, traces of water remain? What to do? - It takes from time to time to wipe the leaves with a damp soft cloth. It will relieve the plant from dust and give leaves a beautiful view.

Temperature mode

For successful breeding of the house of the house, the correct temperature regime is important. As they say, it would be neither cold or hot. In winter, the flower needs to provide a temperature not lower than 16 ° C. Critical minimum - 12 ° C. In summer, it is necessary to provide conditions for 25-30 ° C.

Light mode

Most fikuses easily endure a light half. They are even more harmful to straight sun rays. But voyage forms - for example, Ficus Benjamin prefer to grow in light. Another thing is that this light should be scattered. Otherwise, leaves can get burns.

In winter, any kinds of ficuses require additional backlight using fluorescent, mercury or sodium lamps. Otherwise, they dump the leaves.

Podkord

For active growth, especially during the growing season, the ficus requires feeding. In the spring and summer I use nitrogen-containing fertilizers. It helps to grow more green masses to make flower lush and beautiful. By the way, if your home ficus dropped the leaves, then a good feeding will help in his rehabilitation.

You can use "home fertilizers": inland wood ash, cowboat or nettle. And you can use ready-made mineral complex fertilizers: Gumisol (I use it with it), ideal, palm tree, ficus and others.

Fertilization frequency: 1 time in 10-14 days. In winter, fell unnecessary. Exception if you provided a ficus the same conditions as in the summer (additional backlight, moisturizing, warm air). But then you need to feed 1 time in 1-2 months, and then half the dose indicated on the bottle.

Diseases

Homemade ficuses are subject to various diseases. Most often, they are amazed by a web tick. Therefore, as prophylaxis, it is necessary to spray. And I sometimes arrange a warm shower ficus.

The conclusion is: ficus care at home requires certain knowledge, and most importantly - compliance with the rules. And then there will be no problems at all. In the end, the ficuses grow even in public institutions, and at your home you will definitely grow and please our view.

Care of ficus at home

  • Most ficuses are unpretentious plants In addition to ampel forms.
  • They feel great in conditions of small shadiness.
  • The most suitable temperature for them in the winter - 20 degrees, in summer it may be slightly higher.
  • Do not allow a decrease in temperature less than 12 degrees.

How often should we water

During the period of intensive growth, fakes will need quite a lot of water. From spring to autumn plants, it is necessary to water regularly, but the water in the pallet should not be present constantly, otherwise the roots will be labeled. In early September, watering is gradually reduced, and in the winter to water once every ten days.

Podkord

Forks make the ficuses from spring to the beginning of autumn - once every two weeks. To do this, it is better to use such natural fertilizers such as a korovyan, wood ash and a networn infusion.

How to transplant ficus

Transplanted ficuses once every 2 years. It is better to do in the spring. A mixture of land, sand and peat in a 2: 1: 1 ratio is used as a substrate for transplanting. When transplanting, the ficuses first watered well, and then the handling method is determined in large containers.

You should not use too large containers. It is better to transplant in close pots. This will limit the growth of the plant, which is more acceptable for home conditions.

Self-reproduction, or how to propagate the ficus right

Ficuses multiply with seeds, cuttings and grooves.

Seeds are sown in the spring in advance prepared plates. The landing is made shallow and then the plates are covered with glass. Contain crops in a wet environment. Glass is removed twice a day for 30 minutes to ventilate crops.

  • As soon as the first sheets appear, the plants are dive. The maintenance of the soil should include leaf land and some river sand. Those whitening in separate pots with a diameter of 7 centimeters.
  • Upper cuttings reproduction is made late in spring or summer. A fresh cut cutle on 5-7 cm sits in advance prepared soil. At the same time apply phytohormones.
  • Air lesions reproduction of fikuses from May to September. Low below the leaf from the bottom upwards is made increment of 5 mm.
  • The wet mat is dipped into a special hormonal powder for shilling and insert it into a cut. This is done in order to cut, not closed.

The prepared place is wrapped with wet moss and tested by braid. From above, everything is covered with a film. A few months later, the roots break through the moss. At the bottom of the roots, the stiff cut off and thus the material for planting a new plant is obtained.

Diseases Fikus

If it is incorrectly to care for the plant, pests can hit it: milders, creeks, shields and springs.

The shield is powered by a plant juice. With lesion - the leaves lose their color and fall. It is necessary when it is detected to wipe the leaves with a cotton swab, which is pre-mixed in a soap solution or use accility. It will be enough 20 drops per 1 liter of water. When using accomplish, be sure to follow the precautions, it is toxic.

When defeated by a spider tick under the leaves and between them you can see the white web. In this case, it is necessary to wash the plant with warm water. If the infection is strong enough use the same accotlik. It is also recommended to increase air humidity in the room.

  • With too dry air, the plant can hit a torment cherry. It appears more often on old plants.
  • If the clusters are small, they can be removed with a cotton swab, moistened in alcohol. With a strong lesion, use a carbofos solution - 40 drops of emulsion per 1 liter of water.
  • In the fight against a spider tick and torment cherver, a soap-oil emulsion, which is easy to prepare himself can be a very effective tool.
  • It is necessary in one liter of water to dissolve 5 spoons of washing powder and 5 spoons of diesel fuel. This solution pour into a bucket with cool water and wash the leaves and stalks of the ficus.

To destroy the shields, a solution with chopped garlic and soap is quite useful. After a day after processing, the plant must be thoroughly rolled to remove the residues of the mixture. It is necessary to process 3-4 times with a five-day interval.

Why fall leaves at the ficus

Sometimes ficuses may fall out. The reason for this may be excessive irrigation or change of place. In the first case, due to the excessive amount of moisture, the roots are bumping, and the leaves become dumped lifeless and fall.

As for the second case, it has long been known that the ficus does not perceive the place to change the place. It is experiencing shock, which leads to dropping leaves. It is necessary to monitor the illumination in the room where your plant is located. With a lack of illumination, the growth of the plant slows down. Leaves may also be discharged due to low temperature and drafts.

What you need to pay attention to

Do not buy plants in autumn or winter. Adaptation during this period is much more complicated. Do not buy too large specimens. More adult plants are more difficult to adapt in new conditions.

  1. Look through the hole for drainage on the ficus roots.
  2. If they are black or dark brown, then this plant should not be taken.
  3. When buying a ficus, shake the plant slightly or gently swipe against the leaves.
  4. If at least two or three leaves fall, then it is better to purchase another plant.

Have a good choice.

Varieties of ficus

In room conditions, a large number of different types of ficuses are grown, sometimes very unlike each other outwardly. Most often in homes and offices, you can meet the following types of ficus: rubbing, Benjamin, lying and dwarf. Externally, very unlike, they are far grown equally. In general, care for them is simply.

The most common species

Usually ficuses are evergreen plants, but they meet among them and deciduous. The diversity of various types and subspecies surprises them more than 800, and each in its own way is beautiful and unusual. Let's look at the most popular homemade types of ficuses: their appearance, features and subspecies.

What is a ficus of bendjamine

This is one of the most common species of this plant. He fell to us from Asia and Northern Australia. In addition, this variety of ficus is a symbol of Bangkok, the capital of Thailand.


Benjamin ficus varieties:

  • Large: Anastasia, bookle, Bush King, Golden King, Golden Monic, Daniel, Midnight, Lady, Samantha, Irene, Exotic;
  • With medium-sized leaves: Kerly, Kinki, Naomi, Naomi Gold, Stallight, Fantasy, Esther;
  • Meltsolite (dwarf): Baroque, Viandi, Natasha, Nicole, Nina, Nina, Safari.

The leaves may differ not only with sizes, but also in color, as well as the shape.

Muzolatite compact church with a thick crown. Benjamin ficus branches in old plants, 8-10 years old, go down, and give the treeper a special appeal. At home grows up to 1.5-2 m in height.

Benjamin Ficus Care

Temperature

Moderate, optimal in the range of 20-25 ° C, in winter it is possible to content at lower temperatures about 16-18 ° C, with irrigation limit, the limit is 10 ° C with dry content.

Lighting

Ficus Benjamin loves light, especially voyage varieties, but with protection from direct sunlight in the afternoon. In the spring and summer the eastern window will fit, where the sun happens in the morning or in the evening. But in the middle lane of Russia for the period from September to January, the ideal southern or south-west window is perfect for him. With a lack of light in winter, the ficus can leave.

Watering

Ficus Benjamin has moisture-racing thickening on the roots, so it does not tolerate the convergence, it must be well dried before the next irrigation.

If the roots at the ficus after watering dries very long, driving may begin: the plant simultaneously throws a large number of leaves, some lose color, become yellow, others are still flying in green.

Amazing and original bonsai

Bonsai is the technique of growing plants, originated in Japan for a very long time. Literally translates as "a plant on a tray." By definition, this is a miniature decorative tree. There is a whole method for creating it.

Ficus Bonsai does not apply to varieties, it is formed from Benjamin ficus. This is a very difficult and very laborious process! During growth, it is periodically necessary to trim roots and pinch the tops. Getting a balance between the crown and rhizome, the treet is given the necessary form. It is best for such purposes a ficus Natasha, Nicole, Nina, Viandi, Baroque.

Lovely rubbing ficus

Its second name - Ficus Elastic. This plant is very popular and there are in many houses. Such universal love is caused by his extraordinary beauty. In addition, he is unpretentious in care.

Rubber-like ficuses are dark green, but sometimes found decorated with yellow cut.

Most popular species:

  • dark green leaves: Abidjan, Melanie, Robelast, Sriverian;
  • leaves with yellow border: Belize, Tinene, Tricolor.

It has several varieties that differ in the shape and coloring leaves. Especially spectacular varieties with yellow spots and stripes on the leaves. Some varieties are well branched, have a rather compact form, others reluctantly form side shoots and strive to grow up.

At home, the ficus rubbing is undemanding to humidity and tolerate to a lack of illumination.

We advise you to pay special attention to the right watering and care for growing shoots that can reach several meters and bendable to bend. Forming the crown is needed in a timely manner, taking the stems or periodically cut them down and rooted.

Care of Ficus Rubber

Ficus Elastic is not demanding in care, it is important to choose the right place, especially large copies - to be light and not roasted from batteries; Do not water over and periodically wipe the leaves from dust.

Temperature

Preferably moderate, not lower than 18 ° C. Love "keep legs in warm" - do not put a pot with a ficus on a cold window sill, marble or tiled floor, etc. In the room with a temperature above moderate, the leaves begin to hang down.

Lighting

All varieties of ficus Elastic prefer a bright place, with protection from direct sunlight on a midday clock. Peppercut forms need lighter and warm place than forms with dark leaves.

Watering

Ficus Rubbone Watering Loves Moderate, does not tolerate the mooring of the soil. Water room temperature, better estimated. Furking fertilizers from March to August in two weeks.

Ficus Ali (Binnendika) Ficus Binnendijkii 'Alii'

Ali is the most popular variety of Ficus Binnendik Ficus Binnendijkii, which meets and called "Ficus Irolet". The leaves of this ficus in the form really resemble the Yves, but this is a popular name, not botanical.

With good care, the phicus Ali at home reaches 1.5 m in height and about 70-80 cm in diameter. It is not necessary to put this ficus on the floor: first, dark, the lower part of the trunk will begin to be taken off, and secondly, on the floor is always colder, the land in the pot and roots can be dried, if you water too abundantly.

Ali Ficus Care

Temperature

Moderate, optimal in the range of 20-25 ° C, in winter it is possible to content at lower temperatures about 16-18 ° C, with irrigation limit, the limit is 13 ° C with dry content. With sudden temperatures, leaves can be reset.

Lighting

Bright diffused light, light half. In case of acute lack of light, shoots are pulled, the leaves are radically. From direct sunlight on hot midday time can get burns. Ficus Ali with green leaves more shadowed than many other types of ficuses. But the volatile varieties like 'Amstel Gold' needs more intense lighting, with some sular rays in the morning or in the evening.

Watering

In the summer, the ficus watered moderately, the upper layer of the soil should be well filled to a depth of about 1/2 height pot. In winter, with a decrease in illumination and temperature, watering is limited, allowing the earth to dry almost completely.

Ficus Lirectoid Ficus Lirata

Ficus Lire-shaped Ficus Lirata - features its large leaves similar in shape on an inverted violin. The leaves reaches the length of 50-60 cm. Loves loneliness, you should not put it close to other plants.

This ficus will not often meet in flower stores, but it is wonderful - leather leather, directed up, have an interesting form. The ficus itself grows slowly, with good care is not taken off below. Real decoration of a spacious office or hall. Ficus Lire-like at home is bad branch, often grows in one trunk, at the age of 4-5 years can give side shoots.

Ficus Care Lovoid

Temperature

In summer, the usual room, does not like a strong heat, in winter optimally 18-20 ° C, the limit is 12 ° C. Do not like cooling the soil after watering!

Lighting

Light place, with protection from direct sunlight in spring and summer in the period from 11 to 16 hours.

Watering

Moderate, soil should have time to dry up to the next watering. Water room temperature, well distilled. Furking fertilizers from April to August in two weeks.

Ficus dwarf Ficus Pumila

Fast-growing, mellite ficus, completely unlike all other types of ficuses. You can grow it as an ampel plant, can be tested to the support to stretch up.

The ficosis maintenance is to trigger support, timely transplant and watering, feeding fertilizers. The flower speaks well on a hot shower, as prevention from ticks.

Temperature

Moderate, optimal in the range of 20-25 ° C, in the winter possible content and at lower temperatures about 12-14 ° C, with irrigation limit, limit 8 ° C with dry content. Although B. natural conditions Ficus tiny withstands and lower temperatures, and even small frosts, when growing at home, it should not be risked - protect the plants from drafts.

Lighting

Ficus the fusion grows well on a bright scattered light with a certain amount of sunlight. Suitable oriental and western window, the shading is required only at midday. It grows well with artificial lighting. Peppercut ficus more frequently. If the ficus lacks light, it can grow new shoots without leaves.

Watering

Pretty abundant summer, this is a rare ficus, which does not tolerate the complete Publishing of the Earth, it should always be slightly wetted, but on top of the time to dry up to the next watering about a quarter of the porce. In winter, the ficus is poured less frequently, with the drying of the earth on half the height of the pot.

How to care for ficus

With proper care, this room plant is growing rapidly and reaches 2-3 meters in height. Growth intensity is about 20 centimeters per year.

The plant is necessary about 3 months to adapt and take root in the new conditions. After that, care for ficus Benjamin, as for rubber, as a rule, does not require much effort.

Pledge of successful adaptation

Before you decide to bring Ficus home, you should carefully pick it up in advance permanent residence. Try to abide by several important conditions:

  1. the straight rays of the sun should not harm the trees;
  2. no need to put it next to the batteries;
  3. the humidity in the room should be average, but in no case is not low;
  4. draft is contraindicated.

From the first day, start spraying your flower. Always check the soil moisture in the pot.
Read more about how to care for the ficus, read further.

Features

Consider the main components of the proper care of this room plant:

  • The soil. The soil must be breathable, weakly acid, fertile, humid. You can add natural fertilizers to the ground. It is necessary to ensure good drainage: the bottom layer is better made from the ceramisit, and the upper - from the sand;
  • Lighting. These plants are very light-sounded, so the bright place in your apartment is ideally suitable for them. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, especially at lunchtime. It is best to put a pot with a ficus on the window that comes out is not south or east. Survive the temporary shortage of light fiukus is set, but its leaves will be marked noticeably. In winter, it is necessary to highlight the plant, because with insufficient lighting Ficus Benjamin recesses the leaves. Also, it is also possible to rearrange the plant to avoid one-sided drop of leaves;
  • Room temperature. The optimal temperature in the summer should be within 18-25 degrees, in the winter period - not colder than 16-18 degrees. When the content of the ficus in the cool room, it is necessary to reduce it. In a dry condition, the plant can withstand temperatures up to 10 degrees above zero;
  • Watering. Watering the ficus is preferably regular in moderate quantity. In the summer months do it 2-3 times a week. In early September, watering should be started to gradually reduce that the watering schedule is 1 time per week. Future Flower does not like both excessive soil moisturizing and drying. However, before the next irrigation, the soil still needs to be slightly dried. In addition, periodically the soil must be disappeared so that it is better than the sink. From excessive moisturizing, the ficus can be launched roots, then he will throw a lot of leaves. Watering your tree only with an estate and soft water at a temperature not colder room. Do not forget to sometimes spray leaves from the sprayer;
  • Podkord. The feeding should be carried out in spring and summer 2 times a month. For it, it is preferable to use natural fertilizers (for example, wood ashes, a stray infusion). Before feeding the plant should be poured so as not to burn the roots. You can also spray the leaves with a solution of fertilizer. In winter, the ficus can also be picked up, but with a mandatory condition for the presence of additionally lighting and no more than 1 time per month.

Learning to transplant fikuses correctly

Young ficuses are transplanted annually in the spring in a new land. Plants who have reached the age of 4 can reset every year, and it is enough to just add fresh land to a pot.

Soil for a ficus transplant at home should be nutritious and loose.

If the land in the pot dries quickly, it means the roots of little space and nutrients, therefore, it is time to transplant the plant. After the transplantation, it can reset the leaves or it will slow down somewhat. It is in the order of things, because with an increase in the space roots grow slower. Over time, new leaves will appear, and growth rates will accelerate.

How to transplant Ficus:


Methods of breeding and their features

Many lovers indoor plants Wonder how to propagate the ficus correctly. In total there are 2 ways:

Cuttings are stem and sheets. They should be put in a container with water, and after 2 weeks, the cuttings appear roots. After that, they can be seated in a pot.

Air chains. The second way is to reproduce the ficus by air chains:

  1. Choose the escape you like, remove several leaves from it;
  2. Make a circular incision;
  3. Insert a piece of wood in an incision, then apply wet moss and wrap the food film;
  4. When the roots succeed, separate this part and transfer to another container.

How to be if the plant resets the sheets

Leaves may be discharged for various reasons. Ficus Benjamin, for example, makes it much more often of his fellow. Why this happens and what to do if the ficus drops the leaves:

You should not be afraid if the leaves fall out at Benjamin Ficus. It is necessary, first of all, to identify the reason for this and immediately eliminate it. But the rubber-like ficus, unlike Benjamin, is more adapted to her homework and much less frequently.

Diseases of this room plant

Thus, it is possible to distinguish the following causes of the development of diseases of the ficus:

  1. Insufficient lighting, especially in winter. Growth slows down, the leaves fall and yellow. What is noteworthy, ficuses with dark green leaflets are less demanding to light than with light;
  2. Inappropriate temperature or sharp temperature differences. This affects decorative form plants. It begins to lose leaves and stick;
  3. Draft. Ficus does not tolerate drafts. So he can start the leaves and dry the stems;
  4. Excess poll. If the upper layer does not dry out for a long time, the tops of the shoots die out, the unpleasant smell of rotten from the soil appears, the leaves are flexible and fall out;
  5. Disadvantaged watering. In case of insufficient amount of water, the leaves dry out, and ficus fuss is folded. The branches become dry and brittle, and the Earth is disconnected from the pot;
  6. Excess fertilizer. It is impossible to abuse fertilizers and disintegrate their dosage. The root burn may occur if fertilize the plant with dry soil.

Ensure that there are no deformations, damage, stains and pests on the leaves. Any changes are not good. Always remember that the causes of the disease is better to reveal in advance in order to be able to take action on time.

It is important to periodically inspect the flower and purify from dried leaves.. In difficult situations, it is better to completely replace the land, cut the old reinforced roots, transplant to a smaller pot in terms of volume.

Most often, the causes of the disease are caused by the lack of attention to the ficus from the owners. If it takes care of your favorite and exercise correct care Behind the ficus at home, he will long delight you with its well-groomed appearance.

Ficus: views, photos and titles

Beautiful evergreen Ficus refers to the Family Family. Growing in Nature in New Guinea, Southeast Asia and on Solomon Islands Plants can be like trees and shrubs. Depending on the type, ficuses may have green or two-color leaves up to 70 cm in size. Minor flowers of the plant are located on simplified periccients.

In nature, ficuses can grow up to 40 meters long, and the diameter of their barrel can reach 5 meters. There are false and adding plant species. In total there are more than 1000 varieties of ficuses. However, at home is grown much less. Fikuses known in amateur flower growing We will consider today in our article.

Popular species of ficuses

Rubbone Ficus refers to the most popular and unpretentious species of this kind of tide plants. It different with a weaker stemwhich at home can reach two meters. Leather and glossy elliptical leaves on the tip are slightly pointed. A grayish green crown of a tree of rough and is dressed with horizontal grooves.

In wet premises, the tree gives air roots. This type of ficus has different varieties that are mainly different from the coloring of the leaves:

  1. The "Black Prince" grade is a plating with black leaves.
  2. The Daecheri variety is distinguished by the presence of pink spots and a red bombing in the middle of the sheet.
  3. The variety "Variagat" has beautiful green leaves, along the edges of which there is a cream edge.
  4. The Robust variety is a plant with large, glossy leaves of a rich green color.

Watch out correctly!

Indoor plants are unpretentious, so very popular and loved by flowerfish. Caring for Ficus at home is a good lighting, regular and proper watering and suitable temperature. However, some nuances of growing, especially some plant species, are still available.

Lighting

The best option for the placement of ficuses is well lit place. without direct sunlight. A small plant can be put on a western or eastern window sill, and a high bush or a tree located on the floor or stand near the window. Putting the plant deep into the room is not recommended. In the shadows, the bustice will slow down growth and reset the leaves.

In the warm period of time, the ficuses can be taken to the loggia or balcony, placing them so that the plant does not fall on the plant. In winter, light-minded plants suffer because of a short luminous day, so they are recommended for several hours a day to further highlight.

Temperature and air humidity

Summer optimal temperature for the cultivation of ficus maybe in redistribution 25-30s. In winter, the plant is recommended to contain at a 16-20s air temperature.

Ficks feel well at room temperature. The only thing they do not like is escaped with dry air heating radiators. Therefore, the plant is recommended two - three times a day spray water temperature. Otherwise, dry air may cause destruction of wood pests or diseases.

Watering and water procedures

When leaving for ficus, regular watering is required, which depends on the humidity of the air and the temperature regime in the room. There is a plant only after the upper layer of the earth's mixture is good. Too frequent watering can lead to upgrade root system. It is also necessary to ensure that water is not accumulated in the pallet.

In the arid period twice a month, the ficuses are recommended to bathe under the shower, covering pre-soil with a waterproof film. In the absence of a soul, the leaves of the plant can be periodically wiped first dry, and then a wet cloth.

To leave the tree saturated green, experienced flowerflowers wipe them with a special solution:


Subject ficuses

When caring for a ficus at home, the feeder is made only in the summer. Use for this alternately recommended mineral and organic fertilizers. Plants are fed every ten days.

In winter, when little light and heat Fertilizers do not apply. But for good well-being of the plant, it is possible to feed the tea leaves with tea leaves, instilcing their small amount into the ground.

Change and soil for ficuses

Young, actively growing plants in a transplant need every year. Old trees and bushes are transplanted once a few years. It is necessary to do this in order to update the scum and straightened soil.

For transplanting, a neutral or weak-eyed special soil for ficuses is suitable for transplanting. Young plants need a specific excavation mixture that you can prepare from equal parts:

  • peat;
  • sand;
  • sheet land.

Adult trees are transplanted into a more dense soil, so the mixture is added humid and nervous land.

Approximately per day before planting the plants are poured. For young bushes, new pots must be about 2 cm more than previous ones. At the bottom of the tank, the drainage is first poured, and then a small layer of soil. Pulled out of the old pot of the plant along with the earthlings installed in a new container And poured soil.

We grow Ficus Benjamin

A small church with small leaves requires more attention and some care. Otherwise, leaves begged with it, and the plant becomes perfectly lys.

Ficus Benjamin lives in conditions of high humidity, therefore it does not endure too bright lighting and dry air. Therefore, it is recommended to grown away from direct sunlight, and spray several times a day. Highly good option To enhance humidity will be the use of a special humidifier.

If nevertheless, Fikus Benjamin started leaves, then the reason may be:

  1. Acclimatization of the plant to new cultivation conditions.
  2. Watering with cold water.
  3. Lack of light.
  4. Uncomfortable for plants temperature (above 23c or below 17C).
  5. Drafts and sharp temperature differences.
  6. Dry air.
  7. Excessive or insufficient humidity of the soil.

All these reasons when leaving for fisus, Benjamin should be eliminated. Plant put on a bright place away from sunlight and draft, it is regularly poured, sprayed and feeding. Also, do not forget to periodically loosen the soil in the pot and annually transplant the young plant.
Reproduction of ficuses at home

The easiest and most common method of breeding ficuses are shilling.

To obtain cuttings in the spring from a bush under the lower node, shoots are cut off, on which at least 2-3 leaves should be. The bottom sheet is removed, the cut is washed, and the cuttings are placed in wet sand or water. The segment of the plant is abundantly sprayed and covered transparent plastic bottle Or another cap. In this form, the cuttings are put in a warm, shaded place, and are ventilated daily. As soon as the plant gives the roots and starts to grow, it can be safely planted into a pot filled with an earthy mixture.

You can take a large sheet of ficus as a cutting, cutting it along with the heel. The sheet rolled into the tube is rooted in a wet peat or sand. Next to it for stability is installed support. The sheet sprinkles and covers the flask.

During the rooting, it is necessary to air the cuttings and moisturize peat. After the appearance of the roots sheet sitting in a small pot. As the plant grows, the plants are transplanted into large pots.

Present fake lovers care for a pet at home is considered sufficiently easy. Performing only a few conditions, you can admire round year Beautiful greens small coat or a magnificent and spectacular adult tree.

All types of ficuses love bright places, but too bright rays of the sun can damage their leaves. The corner must be a little shaded so that the plant does not break under the scorching sun. Motion species are more resistant to the sun, monophonic green prefer the half. Place Choose constant, without turning and permutation, all types of ficuses do not like it.

Temperature: Plant prefers natural conditions. The optimal temperature in summer is 22-26 degrees, in winter 16-20 degrees, but not lower than 13-15 degrees. For ficuses are extremely dangerous drafts.

  • Watering: Any kind requires regular irrigation - this is a prerequisite for their content. Slavicized species are pouring less frequently.
  • In the melligent small surface roots, which absorb moisture only from the surface layer of the soil, and it is known to dry up quickly.
  • In summer, watering slightly increases, in winter, especially with a decrease in temperature - reduce.
  • The exclusion of ampels requiring constant abundant irrigation.

Watering a ficus - a subtle and responsible work. The drying of the earthen command leads to the yellowing and falling out of the leaves, too moored substrate - contributes to the rotation of the root cervix and the appearance of pests. Ultimately, the ficus will reset the leaves and the high probability of death.
Water uses stunned several hours, or soft, rainy.

Mandatory condition - the presence in the pot of drainage from the ceramisitis and several holes for the exit of excess moisture.


The soil

Soil: If you buy the soil, you need to choose a weakness, or neutral, with a pH of 5.5-6.5.
For self-preparation, it is necessary: \u200b\u200bpeat, sand and leaf land taken in the same proportions. For large instances, the turf (2 h) is added. In order to avoid roting the roots, the bottom of the ceramzite layer is placed on the bottom as a drainage, and pieces of wood coal make into the ground.

  • Ficks with thick trunks prefer dry climates and stony soils. It is necessary to add small pebbles, or broken bricks.
  • Transplant: For young plants, the transplant is required annually in the spring, adult ficuses are extremely sensitive and transplant as needed if the pot is too small and the roots will be performed on the surface.
  • Often they make the transshipment, or each year is updated the upper layer of soil is more nutritious. During the transplant of young plants, you can add a little overwhelmed manure.
  • Absence good drainage Running roots in the root.
  • Reproduction: Ficus spread in several ways: cuttings, seeds and air taps. The first is the easiest and most popular.

Seeds: early in spring, seeds are sulking in a rig into a ground of a sheet and sand in the same proportions. From above covered with a glass jar, or placed in mini greenhouse. Constantly hold high humidity with regular ventilation.

After some time, the first sprouts will appear, to achieve 2-3 leaves, they dive into separate containers. As soon as young sprouts are fixed, they are re-transplanted into pots using a substrate for adult plants.

Toppers

From spring to autumn slightly lower sheet, make a small vertical incision 5 mm.

Using a match, pre-dipped in the growth stimulator, is inserted into the incision so that it does not close. Top are wrapped with moss and covered with a film. Moss is constantly maintained in a wet state. A few months later, the roots will appear. The petiole with the resulting root is cut slightly lower and put in a small container with the soil.

Cuttings. Suitable one, or two year-old shoots. They are cut in early spring Before the blooming of the kidneys, a length of 10-15 cm and planted in a light soil from the leaf land and river sand. Pre-cutlets put in water until white juice is stopped. Some types of ficuses (Benjamin, rubbing) are well rooted in water. From above, the container is covered with a glass jar, regularly ventilating. Constantly hold the wet climate. The temperature of the medium is 25 degrees. The cutlets quickly empty the roots, after about 1-1.5 months, then it is planted in a pot.

When using thick shoots, for better rooting, no inclination is made (stole). When watering, water should not fall on the sheet plates.

It is possible to root a cutlets in peat pills, where the time of the appearance of the roots is significantly reduced.

Wintering

Wintering: Often ficuses through insufficient lighting and decrease in temperature drop leaves. Some species need to consciously reduce the temperature of the content during rest. Starting from October-November, the ficus significantly slows down his growth and only from spring renews it. Bottle views are watered very rarely and in small quantities of water.

Pests: Ficus can hit the shield, torment Cherver, thrips, web tick. Often due to impaired irrigation mode, or temperature.


Difficulties in growing

  • The yellowing of the leaves, slowdown in growth, new leaves are small - in the soil there is not enough nutrients, make fertilizers, or transfer to the new substrate.
  • Yellow and fall leaves - the lack of moisture, too dry earth com.
  • The leaves fall are insufficient, or oversupply of watering, water is too cold, changing the climate, or atmosphere (moving a ficus from one place to another negatively affects growth), not enough light, a sharp decrease in temperature, the presence of draft.
  • Fitting the lower layer of leaves. Often, ficuses really dump the bottom layer, but if there are new, young, or if the leaves are really old. In other cases, this is a lack of nutrients, a late transplant, or a pot is too small for the root system.
  • The sheet plate is twisted and wrinkled - dry humidity indoors, or a lack of moisture in the soil. Especially concerns ampel species.

Ficus care de dumbbell does not require special skills, but rather accuracy.

Important! In the ficus growth stage, it is necessary to dilute in the water of the fertilizer of a liquid type, observing the instructions on the package and water, simultaneously feeding the resulting mixture Once every 14 days.

If a simple spraying is poorly eliminating the leaves of Fikus de Dumbbell from pollution, then cleaning products can be used, but it is impossible to abuse them, it is recommended to apply rarely, about once every two months, and even less often.

The basis for the soil of the plant is the ferry soil, and if adding an admixture of horny chips, it will increase the beneficial properties of the soil for 3-4 years.

Attention! If your ficus rummaged very much, it is necessary to cut it in the spring, as soon as active growth starts, and most importantly do not forget to sprinkle sections of sections of wood coal, it should be done in order to stop the selection and loss of juice.

Adult ficuses have a property to give air rhizomes, like phyloodendrons, then it is impossible to carry them out.

In summer season from 18-23 ° C, and in the winter is not lower than + 15 ° C. Peppercut species are more demanding to heat.

As all the ficuses, this also loves moisture very much.

It needs to spray a little warm water every day, especially in winter, as the air becomes land.

After the heating turned on, the plant should be removed approximately 2 meters, and even further.

Batteries dried air, and this is the most frequent cause Fitting leaves in winter.

Place should choose bright. In bright lighting, the coloring of the spelling forms look more expressive, but everything should be avoided the impact of direct sunlight, it will be best when it is possible to arrange it 1 meter from the windowSouth.

IN winter time The plant may need an additional light source, as if it is lack, the probability of loss of leaves is large.

Attention! It is not too often to deploy and move the plant, as these actions will also lead to falling out the leaves of one side of the plant.

Watering mode

In the summer it is necessary to regularly water soft warm water (preferably resistant or passed through the filter) Once every three or four days, before the next irrigation, the Earth should light slightly.

If the plant is fired, then the leaves become yellow and fall, it is still necessary to carefully look at the roots to never overwhelm and they did not cover the water. However, with a lack of water, the ficus can also be "half".

In the winter season to water the week, a half.

Important! This type of ficus is not required too much watering, in this case its foliage turns yellow, and he resets it.

Transfer

The transplant is carried out once a year, usually do it in the spring. Having care for adult ficus, during spring period Experienced flowers, recommend replacing the surface part of the soil in a pot or in another substrate.

Young ficuses grow rapidly, and for development at this time he needed a large amount of minerals and vitamin supplements.

To do this, in order to avoid starvation of the plant, each April it must be transplanted into a new soil, which is a mixture of deciduous,

fertile and turf soils with sand. If you have a kashpo, then the bottom of the drainage layer is covered.

Reproduction

Ficks are simple enough Can be rooted during silent in the spring.

The process of reproduction of ficus in greenhouse conditions is proceeding in early March. Each cutlets should have only one sheet, the main thing about not to damage the eyes, and half the lower knot without the eye. With the help of one branch, you can get several cuttings, depending how many leaves on it.

In order for rooting occurred as best as possible, from the bottom of the cutlets recommend to make an incision Or split cross-shaped, somewhat if the wood is solid, and with soft enough there will be one.

Description and care for white ficus de dumbbell

As a rule, all representatives of this family have the shape of a bush, but easily formed in a stramblous tree. They have abundant growing rejugging branches with dark gray bark, on which brown horizontal touches are often found. In the natural environment in his homeland, they can grow up to 25 meters high, and at home we can hardly grow out 10 years to one and a half meters, do not bloom, but with proper care, they remain unchanged attractive.

The main decoration of the ficuses are their numerous leaves - glossy-shiny, oval, varying degrees of elongation, with a sharp or smoothed tip, even or even wavy edges, green or green and white painting of different intensity.

Among all Benjamin de Dumbbell stands out sharply: it is almost completely white leaves have an elliptical shape, green spots are rare on their shiny leathery surface, as if scales of paint strokes. Many white color on leaves has a ficus twilight (or Ficus Twilight, as it is also called) - It is the same blurry as Eldorado, but much more compact, with smaller leaves, the color of which light has a great influence. And only de dumbbell surprises almost completely white leaves: breeders specially sought this decorative effect.

FEATURES OF CARE OF CREATE

This variety does not differ in large peculiarities, it needs to create conditions similar to the conditions for other ficuses. The very problem will be the first few years, if the plant is attached, then the care of it will not be labor.

Since it comes from Southeast Asia, the level of humidity, temperature, light intensity and the duration of the daylight are of great importance. So that the ficus felt well, he needs to determine the place on the windowsill from the south-eastern or south-west side. From the southern window, it is better to set it out for 1 meter to exclude direct sunlight on his delicate leaves. The most comfortable temperature during the warm-up year is between +18 to +25 degrees, it is desirable to lower it in winter to + 16-18 degrees.

The plant does not like drafts, sudden air temperature drops, change the angle of the fall of light - these factors can cause leaves' extinguishing. It is necessary to rotate relative to the sun evenly and very slowly. For the summer it can be taken to the balcony or in the garden, only you have to organize a light shadow at the hottest time of the day.

Watering should be uniform, clean outstanding water usually watered 2-3 times a week when the upper layer of the earth will dry. It is not necessary to allow to dispel the earth to whom, how to remain roots in the water - all this can lead to dropping leaves, it is so that the plant reacts to stress. De dumbbell loves warm shower or frequent spraying with soft clean water temperature (so that the water is not colder than air). Such sprayings are made in summer daily or every other day.

Young plants annually transplanted, increasing the pot into several centimeters.

The best time for this is the end of February or the beginning of March. Adults need to be regularly replaced by the upper layer of the Earth, and the complete replacement of the soil can be made in several years. The soil must be fertile, rather light, neutral or weakly acid. By composing the soil on their own, you can take equal parts of the sheet and the delicate earth, add sand, wood ashes, humid or compost.

It is very important to build a good drainage layer: for this, a pot of claymps is put on the bottom of the pots, then fall asleep with large clean sand, only then lay the prepared soil. Before use, the soil is preferably thermally treated to eliminate the possibility of infecting pests or diseases.

Even annual transplants will not provide a ficus with the right amount of nutrients in a small pottery, so it needs to be regularly fed. Usually advised to use liquid mineral and organic fertilizers, combining them with watering every two weeks.

Evergreen Perennial Plant does not require full peace for the winter, but at least the relative peace needs to organize him. For this, the fall is beginning to cut watering, spraying makes much less often, and the feeders are completely stopped to resume intensive care by the end of February. In winter, you need to monitor the duration of the daylight, most often you have to heave the plants. Still very important moment - The pot with a plant needs to move away from the heating battery for two meters.

The ficus is easily multiplied with the top cuttings and seeds. For cuttings, you can take sprigs with 2-4 pairs of leaves in the spring after forming trimming, root them in water or soil, covering with polyethylene.

Come on the ficus can shields or a web tick. The soil-rally solution will help to get rid of them, and the correct care is to avoid at all.
