Ficus microcarpa

Ficus microcarpaAn absolute classic houseplant. This species is commonly grown like a bonsai to develop thick trunks. They all look like they are striking a pose! If you continue to chop their trunk back, that will encourage the trunk to get bigger. Care These prefer VERY BRIGHT indirect light but they can handle 2 3 hours of direct sun in the morning or evening. We do not recommend these if your space is a little darker! These let these go fairly dry before giving

You'll wanna let these dry in between waterings completely then when dry give it a nice good watering roughly every 10-14 days in the summer

Cut back to roughly once a month in colder months as it will go dormant

They are known for their distinct 8 dimples on their foliage hence the name "Krinkle 8" or "Ripple Leaf

Being a jungle cacti

they're silvery-white in color

These waterings should be less frequent during the winter and more during the spring and summer

This may roughly be 5-7 days depending on your home environment

We recommend watering around every 10-12 days as the soil dries out and the foliage starts to feel limp

use a semi-coarse potting medium with good drainage

These do not want to be overwatered and prefer nice coarse/bark filled soil

In general

When repotting use a semi-coarse soil that will drain water well
