Received plants may differ slightly from images displayed. Unless otherwise specified, all plants come in black nursery pots.
🌿 Care: The Ficus Twilight enjoys consistency — avoid moving it too often or placing it in drafts. If leaves turn brown or drop, it’s usually due to sudden temperature changes or overwatering. Keep humidity moderate and wipe leaves regularly to keep their cream-and-green tones vibrant.
☀️ Light: Loves bright, indirect light. Place near a window where it receives gentle sunlight. Too much direct sun may scorch the creamy edges, while low light can dull its variegation.
💧 Watering: Water moderately — let the top 2–3 cm of soil dry before watering again. Keep the soil evenly moist during summer and slightly drier in winter. Avoid soggy roots.
🌡️ Temperature: Thrives in typical South African home temperatures between 18°C and 27°C. Keep away from cold drafts, heaters, and air conditioners.
🌱 Feeding: Apply a balanced, diluted liquid fertiliser (e.g. 5:1:4) every 2–3 weeks in spring and summer. Use a slow-release fertiliser in autumn and winter to maintain gentle feeding throughout the year.
🐾 Pet Friendly?❌ Not pet-friendly. The Ficus benjamina ‘Twilight’ is mildly toxic if eaten by cats, dogs, or small pets. Also unsuitable near fish tanks or ponds.
