Planting & Care Tips:
Position your Ficus Twilight in a consistently bright spot away from draughts, air conditioning units, and direct afternoon sun. Once the plant has settled, avoid moving it frequently — Ficus benjamina is known to shed leaves in response to environmental changes such as a new location or a sudden drop in temperature. Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser during the growing season (spring through to summer) and gently wipe the leaves with a damp cloth periodically to remove dust and keep the variegated foliage looking its best.
