With its upright growth and sculptural form, ‘Belize’ is the perfect statement plant for bright rooms, modern interiors, or anywhere you want a splash of color and structure. And despite its striking appearance, it’s surprisingly low-maintenance and forgiving with just a bit of consistency.
-
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light to maintain its bold variegation. It can tolerate medium light, but less light may cause fading of the pink tones.
-
Water: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Ficus Belize prefers lightly moist soil—be careful not to overwater or let the plant sit in water.
-
Humidity: Enjoys moderate humidity, though it's quite adaptable to typical indoor levels.
-
Temperature: Loves warm temperatures between 18–29°C. Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature shifts.
-
Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix—a blend of indoor plant soil, perlite, and some bark is ideal.
-
Feeding: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Reduce or pause feeding during winter.
-
Pruning: Prune to maintain shape or encourage branching. Wipe leaves regularly to remove dust and keep the colours vibrant.
