Variegated Benjamin ficus 6in

The Ficus benjamina ‘Samantha’ thrives in bright, indirect sunlight and requires well-draining soil that is kept consistently moist but not waterlogged . It is highly sensitive to environmental changes and drafts, which can cause significant leaf drop . Avoid moving the plant once positioned, as it prefers stability .
Care Instructions
•    Light: Place in a spot with bright, filtered, or indirect sunlight . Direct sunlight can scorch the variegated leaves, while too little light may cause leaf loss .
•    Watering: Water when the top 4–6 cm of soil feels dry . Ensure the soil is evenly moist but not waterlogged to prevent root rot .
•    Temperature and Humidity: Keep in a warm environment, ideally above 15°C . Protect the plant from sudden temperature changes and cold drafts from windows or air conditioning, which cause leaf drop .
•    Soil and Potting: Use a well-draining potting mix . Repot only when absolutely necessary, such as when the plant has doubled in size or once a year, as moving it can cause stress .
•    Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) and reduce or stop feeding in fall and winter .
•    Pruning: Trim the plant to maintain its desired shape and encourage denser foliage .
