Ficus usually have large, bulky roots. The extra husk and perlite give the roots the space they need. Added activated carbon detoxifies the roots from rot and mould problems. Combine this with extra added horticultural sand for a denser and better draining mix and you have yourself the perfect Ficus mix.;
The original habitat of the Ficus plants
The ficus contains a large number of species ranging from shrubs to vines & trees. Most of these are native to the tropical areas of East Asia. They are commonly referred to as figs. The ficus comes from a substrate that drains relatively quickly, the environment however is usually moist. This ficus mix mimics that environment
Ficus mix
Using the mix is easy!; start with removing as much of the old soil as possible. Gently squeeze the pot while holding it sideways to loosen up the plant. Run the roots under lukewarm tap water to remove the last pieces and bits.;
Also, make sure to remove any dead foliage that may still be on the plant using scissors. Now your plant is ready for its fresh Ficus soil. Add a small layer of Ficus mix at the bottom of the pot.
Place the plant in the pot, and slowly add Ficus soil to the sides to fill it up. Make sure that the point where the roots meet the plant is just buried under the Ficus soil.;
Lightly pat the Ficus mix down into the pot. Make sure to water the Ficus mix thoroughly after repotting, as this helps settle the mix and roots down.
