GENERAL INFORMATION
- Also known as Chinese banyan, Malayan Banyan, Indian Laurel, Curtain fig, or gajumaru (ガジュマル), is a tree in the fig family Moraceae.
- They are also known as ‘strangling figs’ because they are often seen growing on other trees and seriously threaten their host’s survival.
- The Laurel surrounds the host tree with its own roots and may grow large enough to pull down the host tree with its weight.
- Indian Laurels have a wide-spreading leaf canopy, so they can also kill their host by growing over the top of it and shading it from the sun.
SOIL REQUIREMENT
- Houseplants may be fertilized with water-soluble, quick-release fertilizers or organic fertilizers such as fish emulsion.
- Water-soluble fertilizers are used every two weeks or per label instructions.
LIGHT REQUIREMENT
- Full sunlight is needed for many plants to assume their full potential.
- Many of these plants will do fine with a little less sunlight, although they may not flower as heavily or their foliage as vibrant.
WATER REQUIREMENT
- Require normal watering so that soil is completely saturated and excess water runs out the bottom of the pot.
- Never water just a little bit; this allows mineral salts to build up in the soil.
