Water: Ficus cotinifolia requires minimal watering, primarily during droughts. Water potted ficus cotinifolia when the surface is dry, approximately weekly in warm months and bi-weekly in winter. Increase watering during summer heat and maintain humidity in dry air to promote healthy growth.
Fertilize: Ficus cotinifolia requires minimal fertilizer in gardens, using compound fertilizer 2-3 times yearly. For potted ficus cotinifolia, apply additional fertilizer bi-weekly. Use lower concentration frequently to prevent root burn. Fertilize in the evening, reduce in winter, and adjust nitrogen and potassium for variegated varieties monthly.
Pruning: Ficus cotinifolia is a robust tree with glossy leaves, thriving in warm climates. Prune in early spring to remove damaged branches, enhance shape, and promote growth. Thin crowded areas for better light and air circulation, using clean tools while avoiding heavy pruning during active growth.
