Braided Ficus Adora Exotica, also known as Ficus Benjamina, is a popular indoor plant with a unique braided trunk and delicate, dark green leaves. Here are some tips for caring for your Braided Ficus Adora Exotica in an office setting:
Lighting: Braided Ficus Adora Exotica does well in bright, indirect light. Place it near a window where it can receive filtered sunlight, but avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
Watering: Water your Braided Ficus Adora Exotica thoroughly, but allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Overwatering can cause root rot, which can be fatal to the plant. In an office setting, it's best to water your plant once a week or when the soil is dry to the touch.
Humidity: Braided Ficus Adora Exotica thrives in a humid environment. In an office setting, where air conditioning can dry out the air, you can increase the humidity around your plant by placing a tray of water near the plant or by using a humidifier.
Temperature: Braided Ficus Adora Exotica prefers temperatures between 60 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. In an office setting, make sure your plant is not exposed to drafts from air conditioning or heating vents.
Fertilizing: Fertilize your Braided Ficus Adora Exotica every two weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.
Pruning: As your Braided Ficus Adora Exotica grows, you may need to prune it to maintain its shape and prevent it from becoming too large. Use clean, sharp scissors to snip off any yellow or dead leaves, and trim back any stems that are becoming too long.
By following these care tips, your Braided Ficus Adora Exotica should thrive in your office and add a unique, exotic touch to your workspace.
