Ficus microcarpa - Moclame Ficus

Ficus microcarpa 

Frequently mistaken for its sister, the Ficus benjamina, the Moclame's thick rounded leaves make it uniquely identifiable. Its small branches are most conducive to pruning, and with patience its outward appearance can be highly controlled. Misting it regularly will help to minimize leaf drop and it's best to withhold fertilizer until it stops losing leaves. 

• Light: Direct Sunlight – This plant loves direct sunlight so place it by an window that gets direct, natural light for a least a portion of the day.
• Water: Thirsty – This plant can only go 1 to 2 weeks without water so check weekly and water when the top two inches of soil dry out.
• Tips: Like many houseplants, it would rather be too dry than too wet so if you are unsure about whether it needs water, wait a day or two and check again.
