When I moved to a new apartment recently, mom got me a small ficus they had at home to "liven up the place". I managed to dry out a cactus to death some years ago, but here we are.
With that said, apparently the plant doesn't like too much water (water it once a week at best) and too much sunlight (it sits in a corner of a room where I mostly keep my blinds on) and two months in my boy is *thriving*. Growing tiny new leaves and everything.
