You should allow the top layer of soil to dry out completely between waterings, which typically happens about once a week. Be careful not to let the plant sit in standing water, as this can lead to root rot.
Yes, it is considered an easy-care plant. Its moderate watering needs and adaptable nature make it a great choice for those new to indoor gardening.
The Ficus Ruby thrives in temperatures between 65°F and 85°F. It is best to keep it away from drafty windows, air conditioning vents, or heaters that could cause extreme temperature fluctuations.
