Ficus Trees Insects Overview
Ficus Plant Family Insects Information Overview
The number one preventative measure to take when dealing with the common indoor and outdoor insects (for ficus) is prevention itself. You should always make sure that you are regularly cleaning your plants leaves. A consistent washing or spraying of the foliage with warm water will minimize or prevent problems. In fact I give my ficus a shower right in my bath-tub. I just place the ficus in its pot, in the tub, shut the curtain, and let the warm water from the shower give it a bath! Not only does this enhance the plant’s overall appearance, but it removes pests as well.
