Ficus Lyrata Bambino

Commonly known as the dwarf Fiddle Leaf fig, Ficus Bambino is more than just the compact version of the famous cousin. Very hardy and tolerant, this Bambino is very suitable for life indoors and out in a variety of conditions. Ideal for pots and large containers both indoors and out, this is an extremely versatile small tree for the garden, the patio, or any bright indoor space. Very tolerant of a variety of lighting conditions and drought tolerant once established. For enhanced growth we recommend using Troforte M Indoor & Patio Slow Release fertiliser at half the recommended application rate. Ficus Bambino reaches 1-3m height and 1-2m width.

 

Water: Water well and often when freshly planted and during hotter periods. In the garden, use a chunky mulch, we recommend using Aussie Organics Chunky Pine Bark.

 

Sun: Indoors, in bright indirect to full sun (North, South or East facing windows). Outdoors in full shade, full morning sun or dappled positions. Keep out of Westerly facing windows or afternoon sun exposure.

 

Soil: In the garden a fertile, well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. We recommend using Aussie Organics Premium Soil Conditioner and Charlie Charcoal prior to planting. Indoors a well-draining, fertile indoor mix. We recommend using The Home Plant Co Indoor Potting Mix.
