The soil should be allowed to dry slightly between waterings during the winter and other times of low growth. Plants should never be waterlogged or allowed to sit with water in their saucers. Weeping figs prefer high humidity levels. Healthy plants should be fed every month or two during the growing season with a liquid fertilizer. Wash ficus leaves occasionally with plain warm water.
Weeping figs can tolerate being slightly root bound.
If the plants become too crowded, new leaves will be small and growth will slow. Repot in late winter or early spring, using a general-purpose potting soil. Plants can be pruned to shape as needed. They will even tolerate hard pruning to reduce their size if necessary. Reduce watering levels to severely pruned plants.
