How To Care For Branched Banyan Fig Tree
Watering is easy with your branched banyan fig. Allow the top couple of inches to dry between watering to avoid overwatering. A great way to gauge this is to place your thumb in the soil. If it’s dry, it’s time to water! Have you tried one of our boutique watering cans? If you’re a new plant parent, take a look at our watering guide for some handy tips and tricks!
Like the usual Banyan Fig, the branched variety will also survive in most conditions, but they really thrive in a brightly lit spot. Being from the Inidian subcontinent, keep your Ficus benghalensis away from any cold or drafts. This will help to keep the leaves in tip-top shape!
The Banyan Fig prefers a humid environment, but isn’t too demanding on this front. Give a misting occasionally and keep the leaves dust-free. Why not buy one of our plant misters?
Banyan Figs prefer a rich, well-draining soil. Ensure the water can drain away from the pot freely and ensure it does not sit in water. It likes consistently moist soil.
Fertilise monthly during spring and summer to keep your Banyan Fig happy and healthy. We recommend Miracle-Gro Pump and Feed!
If using fertiliser is new to you, read our “How to Fertilise Your Houseplant” page!
As with many other members of the ficus family, it can occasionally become susceptible to pests such as scales and mealy bugs. To treat, simply order some of our neem oil on next day delivery, and spray on your leaves, soil until resolved!
If you think your plant is suffering from a pest or disease, take a look at our Pests and Infections page!
Although Branched Banyan Fig’s like to be kept quite root-bound, it is recommended to repot them every 2-3 years to allow some growth. If you want to keep your Ficus Roy from growing too tall you can pinch your plant back above a node, which also encourages it to branch out.
Wondering how to repot your houseplant? Take a look at our repotting guide. It has all the information you’ll need!
