Ficus Moclame
About Ficus Moclame
Did you know that all plants in the Ficus genus produce figs? In fact, the word Ficus quite literally means figs! Even cooler, all figs are pollinated by tiny wasps that use the fruits as a safe place to raise their young. 🐝 Ficus plants also contain latex which emerges as a milky sap when twigs are broken. This latex makes them toxic, so be sure to keep a close eye out if you have children or pets!

How to fertilize Ficus Moclame
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Ficus Moclame after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Ficus cpr I have this pretty but not-really-thriving Audrey Ficus. I attempted to notch it yesterday, and cutting into the trunk created sap in some areas but not others. Does that mean that the parts of the trunk that don’t produce sap are “dead”? Drake plant info linked below has Having a similar issue with my fiddle leaf which I’m working on bringing back from the dead, but expectations are low… (See photos— this one has rooting powder on notches) #NotSoHappyPlants #Ficus #FiddleLeafFig #NewGrowth #notching #Branching

She’s been repotted :-) #Ficus #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict . I was going to wait till end of may, but couldn’t help myself. Soil was finally dried enough to water. I figured, might as well. Let’s hope she likes her new home.
