Potted young trees usually take a monopodial form, with single non-branching stem; prune growing tip or top the plant from an early age to encourage branching. This 'Bambino' variety will reach up to 1m in the home.

Secrets of success

Temperature: Ideally 15-24°C, keep out of draughts and sudden temperature drops.

Light: A bright spot is best.

Watering: Allow soil to dry out slightly between waterings; be mindful of overwatering.

Air Humidity: Average humidity is fine but higher humidity in winter will prevent brown edges on the leaves, this can be achieved by grouping plants together, misting, using a humidifier and placing your plant on a tray of watered pebbles.

Fertilising: Ficus lyrata doesn't have a strong need for fertiliser; during sping and summer, feed once per month.

Potting mix: A well draining mix with perlite and bark.

This plant is toxic, keep out of reach of pets and children.
