Ficus Alii Trees trees require bright, direct light for several hours a day. A western or southern window will provide enough light to keep these trees happy. Outdoors, the trees can handle full sun to part shade. Any change in light conditions will cause weeping figs to drop their leaves and regrow new leaves.

What type of fertilizer should I use for my Ficus Alii Trees?

We recommend that you use any all-purpose foliage fertilizer for your Ficus Alii Trees. Any type of fertilizer that offers nutrients that help your tree transition to a new environment would be helpful. Remember that these trees can drop their leaves when they first enter a new environment. However, they will quickly produce new and healthy foliage as they adjust. Keep in mind that weeping figs like a regular fertilizing schedule to encourage new growth and branching. Be sure to avoid fertilizing your tree during its growth dormancy period in the winter. Fertilizing during this time could cause more harm than good.
