Here are a few tips for watering your Ficus altissima Yellow Gem in Vancouver:
1. Check the soil: Before watering, stick your finger about an inch into the soil. If it feels dry, it's time to water. If it's still moist, wait a few more days.
2. Adjust for the season: During the winter months, when the plant is dormant, you can water less frequently. Aim for watering every 7-10 days. In spring and summer, when the plant is actively growing, you can water more frequently, every 5-7 days.
3. Consider the humidity: If the air is dry, you may need to water more often. Misting the leaves occasionally can help increase humidity.
4. Drainage is key: Make sure your pot has drainage holes to prevent soggy soil, which can lead to root rot.
5. Signs of overwatering: If the leaves turn yellow and drop, it's a sign of overwatering. Allow the soil to dry out completely before watering again.
By following these tips, you should be able to keep your Ficus altissima Yellow Gem healthy and thriving!
