Origin The Ficus Makana is a native species in Asia.
Properties The Ficus Makana comes from the Ficus family. Better known as Rubber Tree. The sap from the tree (latex) was an important source of rubber, hence its famous nickname. The sap from the plant is poisonous when ingested and can irritate the skin. This plant is therefore not suitable in the immediate vicinity of children and pets.
Air purifying The Ficus Makana is highly air-purifying and is therefore able to remove dirty particles from the air and convert them into clean air. The air-purifying effect of the Makana is so great because the plant has a large amount of leaves.
Pitch Place the Ficus Makana in a light, warm place but not in direct sun.
Watering The Robusta needs regular water and is very easy to maintain thanks to the Beautanic Hydropot with water reservoir and water meter.
Nutrition All Beautanic Lifestyle plants are equipped with the special Beautanic Hydropot. These plants stand on volcanic grains, so that sufficient oxygen reaches the roots. This ensures a nice balance, so that they remain strong and healthy for years to come. Hydroponic plants get nutrition from the water, compared to soil culture, where plants get nutrition from the soil. It is therefore necessary to regularly provide the Beautanic Lifestyle Makana with Beautanic Superfood .
repot The Ficus Makana comes in a Beautanic Hydropot. Due to this special hydroponic system, the roots have sufficient oxygen, so that the plant can grow optimally. Repotting is therefore not necessary.
