Ficus benjamina "Dunetti"
Ficus benjamina "Dunetti"
An evergreen tree that can become a wonderful decoration for almost any room: an apartment, a large hall, an office, a winter garden.
The shoots are drooping, the leaves are dense, green, small, asymmetric, heart-shaped. The tip of each sheet is pulled back, and forms a "drip" for excess water to drain.
Ficus is unpretentious and undemanding to lighting and humidity. In the spring-autumn period, ficus requires abundant watering. It is advisable to spray the leaves and the air in the room regularly. In winter, it is recommended to place in a bright, but cool room with a temperature of no more than + 13 ° C, moderate watering.
Top dressing once a month with complex mineral fertilizers. Transplant no more than once every two years. The vertical shoots of the ficus are weak and quickly take a horizontal direction, therefore, to keep the bush in a vertical position, sometimes several plants are planted in a pot and, as they grow, young branches are woven together (at the same time, the trunks grow together at the point of contact). The supporting peg also helps, to which you need to tie a young shoot for vertical growth.
Ficus benjamina easily tolerates shearing, and because the foliage is small, it can be made into a green sculpture.
