The growth habits of the water Ficus and the banyan tree are quite similar, and the biggest difference is that the leaves are different. Normally, the length of water banyan leaves is about 5 centimeters, while the length of banyan leaves is about 16 centimeters. The leaves of the water banyan are much smaller than those of the banyan. In addition, the shape of the leaves is different. The water banyan is a plant with alternate simple leaves, which have long stalks and are generally oblong or long oval in shape. The leaves of Banyan are relatively broad, generally large ovate, and the roots of the leaves are heart-shaped.
Water Ficus and banyan can be planted together, because they need a similar growth environment. They all like to grow in warm and sunny environment, and need to provide strong light for about 6 hours a day and keep the temperature at about 22 degrees Celsius. Too high or too low temperature will affect the normal growth of plants.
They also have certain requirements on the water quality environment. Growing in soft water can easily cause the roots of the plants to rot, so they need to be placed in slightly acidic or neutral hard water for maintenance. They need to get enough nutrients during their growth. Therefore, sufficient fertilizer should be applied before planting, and liquid fertilizer should be applied regularly in the process of maintenance to meet the normal growth needs of plants.
