[Ficus] Melanie | Size 5 | Houseplant

[Scientific name] Ficus elastica ruby
[Family name] Moraceae
[Genus name] Ficus
[Place of Origin] Southeast Asia, India
[How to care for] Keep the plant in a sunny location. When it receives plenty of sunlight, the leaf patterns will be beautiful. In the summer, the sun can be too strong and the leaves can get burned, so shading is necessary. If you are keeping it indoors, try to soften the sunlight with lace curtains or something similar. If you are keeping it outdoors, bring it indoors when the temperature starts to drop to around 10°C.
During the growing season from May to November, water the plant thoroughly when the surface of the soil dries. As temperatures drop in November, growth slows. Be careful not to overwater, and aim for watering once or twice a week.
If the indoor environment is warm and well-ventilated, you can adjust watering depending on the condition of the soil, even after autumn.
