Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce watering in autumn and winter, allowing the top few centimeters of soil to dry out between waterings.
Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot.
Prune Ficus subpisocarpa in late winter or early spring to maintain its shape and size. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Pinch back new growth to encourage bushier development.
Wear gloves as the sap can be irritating.
Propagate Ficus subpisocarpa from stem cuttings. Take 10-15 cm cuttings from healthy, mature stems in spring or summer. Remove the lower leaves and dip the cut end in rooting hormone.
Plant in a moist, well-draining potting mix and cover with a plastic bag to maintain humidity.
Repot Ficus subpisocarpa every 2-3 years, or when the roots have filled the current pot. Choose a pot that is one size larger. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repotting is best done in spring, just as new growth begins.
