Ficus cyathistipula, also known as the African fig or cup fig, is a popular houseplant that
is well suited to growing in hydroculture. Hydroculture refers
to a growing method in which plants are cultivated in a water-based medium
without soil. This method offers various advantages,
such as better oxygen supply to the roots and more
efficient nutrient uptake.
Hydroculture care tips:
Location:
A bright location without direct sunlight is ideal.
Indirect light promotes healthy growth and prevents
leaf scorch.
Water:
The water reservoir should always be sufficiently filled. As the
roots stand directly in water, it is important to check the
water level regularly. The roots should not be allowed to dry
out.
Nutrients:
A high-quality hydroculture fertiliser supplies the plant with all
essential nutrients. Dose according to the manufacturer's instructions.
To avoid over-fertilising, it is advisable to replace the nutrient solution
regularly.
Humidity:
Ficus cyathistipula prefers moderate humidity. In
dry indoor air, misting the leaves or using a
humidifier can help.
Temperature:
The optimum temperature is between 18°C and 24°C. Extreme
temperature fluctuations should be avoided so as not to
stress the plant.
Repotting:
Repotting is rarely necessary in hydroculture. Nevertheless, it is
advisable to check the condition of the roots regularly. Rotten or
dead roots should be removed carefully.
Pests:
Regular checks for pests such as spider mites or aphids
are important. In case of infestation, organic or suitable chemical
products that are suitable for houseplants can be used.
