Care (or how to keep this bicolor ficus always spectacular):

🌞 Bright, indirect light: Ficus Benjamina 'Twilight' loves bright, indirect light. Place it near a window where it can enjoy filtered light, but without direct sunlight reaching it, which can damage its white edges. With the right light, its leaves will still show that beautiful contrast between deep green and creamy white!

💧 Moderate watering: This ficus likes its substrate to be slightly moist, but not soaked. A little tip: let the top layer of the substrate dry out before watering again, and make sure its pot has good drainage. This way its roots will stay healthy and its leaves will remain as fresh as ever!

🌿 Moderate humidity: Although it is quite adaptable, the Twilight appreciates an environment with moderate humidity. If your home is dry, a simple trick is to place a tray with water and stones under the plant, or group it with other plants to increase humidity. You can also give it extra pampering by misting its leaves occasionally.

🥂 Occasional fertilization: Give your plant some houseplant fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during spring and summer to maintain healthy growth and vibrant coloring. A special tip: use diluted liquid fertilizer to avoid burning the roots. In winter, reduce the frequency to help it conserve its energy.

🏺 Well-draining Pot: Use a pot that allows for good drainage to avoid waterlogging. Twilight enjoys a well-aerated substrate, such as a houseplant mix with perlite or bark. This will keep its roots cool and help it continue to grow strong and healthy.

Leaf cleaning: To maintain the shine of its bicolor leaves, gently wipe them with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dust. This will not only make it look prettier, but will also help the plant breathe better.
