HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED
The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.
WHEN WE SHIP
We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. We also ship a wide range of containers and planters, tools, supplies, fertilizers, garden wear, garden decor items, as well as indoor decorations like wreaths and dried bouquets when available. Estimated dates for shipping are indicated in the green Shipping Details box for each item. Please supply a street address for delivery. Kindly contact us with two weeks notice, if you'll be away at the expected time of delivery.

Latin Name Pronunciation: fie' kus
Ficus is an ancient, large, and diverse genus of evergreen trees, shrubs, and vines growing mostly throughout the tropics, inhabiting warm, temperate regions. The genus includes numerous species grown as houseplants, all containing toxic sap; site plants out of the reach of children and pets and wear gloves when pruning.
Light: Ficus is an adaptable houseplant, thriving in rooms with moderate to bright filtered light such as that from an east or west window with sheer curtains or partially opened blinds. In a light-flooded room, place your plant toward the interior, away from strong direct sunshine. Ficus plants will tolerate low light but grow very slowly. Choose the right spot and give your plant time to adjust to light levels; plants may drop some leaves when moved into new light conditions.
Watering: Water when the top 1" of the potting mix is dry to the touch.
Temperature: Ficus plants find typical household or office temperatures agreeable, 70-80°F during the daytime, 60-70°F at night are ideal. Avoid cold drafts.
Fertilizer: Apply a balanced (18-18-18), water-soluble houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength once a month during the growing season (generally April into September). Do not fertilize in winter.
Humidity: Moderate humidity is beneficial. Keep away from radiators and vents that blow dry air from heating or air conditioning systems. Mist a few times a week to increase humidity, set plants on top of pebbles in a tray with water (don’t let water touch the pot) or run a humidifier nearby. Occasionally wiping leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust is recommended.
Please Note: Due to its toxic sap, site this plant out of the reach of children and pets and wear gloves when pruning.
