Here are some suggestions for care for a Dwarf Ficus Island

• Compact : size is ideal for tiny settings.
• Sunlight : Most ficus trees prefer bright, indirect, or filtered sunlight. Direct sunlight can cause the leaves to scorch and drop off.
• Soil : The Dwarf Ficus Island can thrive in any soil type, but it prefers moist, well-drained soil. Once established, it requires little water.
• Watering : Water the plant once the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. If the soil totally dries up, the leaves may droop, turn brown, and drop off.
• Repotting :  Repot the plant in a 6-7-inch pot containing 50% potting soil, 20% cocopit, 20% organic manure or vermicompost, 5% charcoal chips, and 5% perlite.
• Pruning : The Dwarf Ficus Island has a slow growth rate, so it only needs maintenance pruning.
