- Light
- bright indirect, close to a window. Burgundy forms need more light than green ones to keep their color
- Water
- let the top two inches dry, then water thoroughly. Wipe the leaves occasionally. They are broad and glossy and dust genuinely cuts how much light they can use
- Toxicity
- toxic to dogs, cats and horses. The ASPCA lists the fig genus (Ficus) rather than this species by name: the milky sap contains ficin and psoralen (ficusin) and causes gastrointestinal and skin irritation
Toxicity confirmed against ASPCA Animal Poison Control (Ficus, genus listing).
