- FEATURES
  
  ‘Samantha’ is another Ficus benjamina in our Cling-On collection, that has been bred to have leaves that resist dropping; they literally cling to this ficus. ‘Samantha’ grows in an elegant multi-stemmed, bushy habit. She has slender, arching branches that hold glossy, bright green leaves, edged in creamy variegation. In order to keep your ‘Samantha’ showing her most prominent variegation, she needs to be given plenty of bright light, such as can be found in a west- or south-facing window.

  Maintenance Notes:
  
  For optimal performance, keep your Cling-On Fig at 60-85°F (15-29°C).
  
  Be sure to position your Cling-On Fig away from cold drafts and forced air.
  
  Cling-On Figs thrive in bright indirect light.
  
  Cling-On Figs prefer to dry out some in between waterings. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before giving your Fig a good soaking.
  
  Feed your Cling-On once per month at half strength when it is actively growing. Reduce frequency of fertilization in the winter months. If no new leaves are growing, it does not need to be fertilized.
  
  Protect furniture when watering & fertilizing.
  
  If your Cling-On Fig is a young plant, it will grow fairly quickly and may need to be repotted every 1-2 years. When repotting your Fig, use all purpose potting mix with added orchid bark and perlite to ensure good drainage and plenty of nutrients.
