Care instucions ficus lyrata

ChatGPT said:

Here are the care instructions for Ficus lyrata (also known as the fiddle leaf fig):

Light

• Bright, indirect light is best.

• It can tolerate some direct morning sun, but avoid harsh afternoon sun as it may scorch the leaves.

• Too little light can cause leaf drop or stunted growth.

Water

• Water when the top 2–5 cm (1–2 inches) of soil feels dry.

• Use room-temperature water, and allow excess to drain—never let the plant sit in water.

• Overwatering leads to root rot; underwatering causes browning edges on leaves.

Humidity

• Prefers moderate to high humidity (above 40%).

• Mist occasionally, group with other plants, or use a humidifier if the air is dry.

Temperature

• Keep between 18–24°C (65–75°F).

• Protect from drafts, heaters, and sudden temperature changes.

Soil

• Use a well-draining indoor potting mix—a blend for indoor foliage or cactus/succulent mix with added peat or coco coir works well.

Feeding

• Fertilize monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.

• Stop fertilizing in autumn and winter.

Repotting

• Repot every 1–2 years or when roots grow out the drainage holes.

• Choose a pot 2–3 cm larger in diameter.

Pruning

• Prune in spring to shape or control size.

• Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears.

Common Issues

• Brown spots: Often due to overwatering or bacterial infection.

• Leaf drop: Can be from stress (e.g. relocation, low light, or drafts).

• Dusty leaves: Gently wipe with a damp cloth to keep them clean and able to photosynthesize.

Picasso Peace Lily

ChatGPT said:

The Picasso Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum 'Picasso') is a rare and stunning variegated variety of the classic peace lily, prized for its striking white-and-green marbled leaves. Here's how to care for it:

🌿 Picasso Peace Lily Care Guide

Light

• Bright, indirect light is ideal to maintain variegation.

• Can tolerate lower light, but less variegation will appear.

• Avoid direct sunlight—it can burn the leaves.

Water

• Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy.

• Water when the top 2–3 cm (1 inch) of soil is dry.

• Use filtered or distilled water if your tap water is high in minerals, as peace lilies are sensitive to fluoride and chlorine.

Humidity

• Thrives in high humidity (50%+). Mist regularly or use a humidifier.

• Dry air can cause crispy leaf tips.

Temperature

• Ideal range: 18–27°C (65–80°F).

• Protect from cold drafts and temps below 15°C (59°F).

Soil

• Use a well-draining, airy potting mix—aroid mix or indoor plant mix with added perlite and orchid bark.

Feeding

• Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength.

• Hold off on feeding during winter.

Repotting

• Repot every 1–2 years or when rootbound.

• Choose a pot only slightly larger with good drainage.

Toxicity

• Toxic to pets and humans if ingested—contains calcium oxalate crystals.

Common Issues

• Yellow leaves = overwatering or poor drainage.

• Brown tips = low humidity, underwatering, or mineral buildup in water.

• Drooping = usually a sign it needs water—perks up quickly after watering.
