Help me grow!

The Ficus Prestige plant resembles a mini tree plant, with a complete tree-trunk as well as canopy and is a favorite among landscape gardeners, and houseplant experts, as an indoor companion.

• Water me consistently throughout my growing season, and less in winter.
• An occasional wipe-down cuts down dust and keeps the sheen of my leaves intact.
• Known to possess excellent air-purifying abilities.
• Enjoys bright indirect light or filtered light, direct sunlight scalds leaves.
• Thrives in relatively high humidity and thus loves to be pampered with a regular misting. Alternatively, you could also place me on a pebble tray filled with water.
• Cold air and drafts make me uncomfortable and cause loss of leaves…Brrrrr!
• Yearly pruning of branches helps build a fuller, denser canopy.
• Ingesting my leaves and the sap within can prove toxic to household pets.
