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

FEEDING/FERTILIZER 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.
