Black Jungle Terrarium Supply Ficus radicans

No, this plant is not considered pet-safe. It is best kept in an area inaccessible to curious pets, such as a closed terrarium or a high shelf.

While it is an excellent choice for terrariums due to its vining habit and love for moisture, it can also be grown as a standard houseplant. If kept outside of a terrarium, you must ensure it receives the high humidity it requires to prevent leaf browning.

This means placing the plant in a spot that receives plenty of natural light, but never direct sun rays, which can scorch the leaves. A north or east-facing window, or a spot slightly set back from a south-facing window, is usually ideal.

Maintain a moderate watering schedule, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Check the top inch of soil; if it feels dry to the touch, it is time to water.

It is classified as an intermediate care plant. Success depends largely on your ability to maintain consistent humidity levels and provide the correct light, so it may be challenging for those new to tropical plant care.
