Ficus Soil Mix
Repotting your Ficus is easy when you use the specialized Ficus Soil Mix. Follow these steps to ensure your plant has the perfect foundation for healthy growth.
Step 1: Remove Old Soil
Start by carefully removing as much of the old soil as possible. Gently squeeze the pot while holding it sideways to loosen the plant. If it’s still stuck, don't rush—gently work it out. Rinse the roots under lukewarm water to get rid of any remaining soil particles, ensuring the roots are clean.Step 2: Trim Dead Foliage
With sterilized scissors, cut away any dead or damaged leaves. This ensures your Ficus can focus on new growth and remain healthy.Step 3: Add a Base Layer of Soil
Pour a small layer of Ficus Soil Mix at the bottom of the pot. This layer provides a strong foundation and helps with drainage, which is important for the health of your Ficus.Step 4: Position the Plant
Place the Ficus in the pot, making sure that the root crown (where the roots meet the base of the plant) is just below the soil surface. Gradually fill the sides with more Ficus Soil Mix until the pot is full. Lightly press the soil down to provide stability without compacting it too much.Step 5: Water Thoroughly
After repotting, water the Ficus Soil Mix thoroughly to help the soil settle and allow the roots to adjust to their new environment. This step is crucial for a smooth transition and the long-term health of your Ficus.Your Ficus is now successfully repotted and ready to thrive. Keep an eye on the soil’s moisture, as Ficus plants prefer to stay evenly moist but not waterlogged.
