🍀Has your plant had a perm? Leaf curling happens when the plant has been underwatered. Water little and often, trying to keep the soil slightly moist.
🍀Insufficient light can trigger leaf drop! Find a more suitable location and your plant should quickly recover.
Light
Ficus elastica Tineke prefers bright, indirect light but does cope quite well in lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight as this may scorch the plant.
Watering
Water when the soil starts to become slightly dry at the top. Keep the soil lightly moist at all times, but do not overwater as this will cause leaf drop.
Temperature
This Ficus enjoys temperatures between 16-24°C. Avoid draughts as these can create undesirable temperature fluctuations.
Humidity
The Tineke has no specific humidity requirements, although the occasional misting wouldn’t go amiss. For an added boost, relocate to a steamier room like the kitchen or bathroom.
Feed
Apply a weak dose of a fertiliser once or twice a month during the growing season.
