Ficus Microcarpa likes to grow in the moist substrate, but unfavorable to too much water. Too much water will lead to a lack of oxygen to the roots, leaves will appear black spots. At this time, it should be watered in time to stop, and will be treated as water accumulation in the basin after digging processing.

3. Shading treatment

For soil raising Ficus Microcarpa, its roots on soil have strict requirements. If long time no changes or soil is undeserved, it is easy to cause yellowing of the leaves, plant growth thin. Choose loose drainage and nutrition is rich, disinfect the soil before putting into the pot.

2. Water quality

For hydroponic Ficus Microcarpa, if long time no change water, it can lead to root rot and appear as the phenomenon of yellow leaves, resulting in Ficus Microcarpa leaves becoming brown.

If the temperature is below 6℃, the root of the plant is vulnerable to frost damage, the leaves will become yellow and soft, the plant should be moved to a room with heating equipment, the control temperature is about 18℃ ~ 33℃.

5. Reduce fertilizer use

Too much fertilizer can also lead to yellowing of Ficus Microcarpa leaves, which should be reduced in a timely manner by adding water to each fertilizer application to dilute the fertilizer concentration, applying liquid fertilizer based on phosphorus and potassium once a month during the growth period, or burying granular fertilizer around the roots.
