Features

Chandelier ‘Celebrate’ or Ficus microcarpa, is a delightful houseplant that could grow into a small tree in years. It has an upright, tree-like demeanor, with stems that turn woody over time, and support oblong oval leaves of medium green. These leaves, smooth and shiny, bear a warm gentle glow, especially when they’re newly emerging. Midribs are distinctly light in color. ‘Celebrate’ is a botanical masterpiece, in and of itself, but like other Ficus microcarpa, it would make an excellent specimen for sculpting in the ancient art of bonsai.

Maintenance Notes:

For optimal performance, keep your Ficus at 60-85°F (15-29°C).
Be sure to position your Ficus away from cold drafts and forced air.
Ficuses thrive in bright, indirect light. They are not low light plants and should be placed near a window. East- or west-facing windows are good choices.
Ficuses prefer to dry out some in between waterings. Allow the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry out before giving your Ficus a good soaking.
Feed your Ficus once per month at half strength when it is actively growing. Reduce frequency of fertilization in the winter months.
Protect furniture when watering & fertilizing
When repotting your Ficus, use all purpose potting mix with added orchid bark, perlite, and sand to ensure good drainage and plenty of nutrients.
This Ficus has broad leaves that should be dusted regularly to ensure it is photosynthesizing all the light it can get.
