Convex 8" planter has 3 parts. A pot, a ring to improve aesthetics and a smart bottom tray which will hold excess water drained out from pot. This bottom tray is called "smart" because it has a window where you can see excess water and stop watering. And it has a plug with thread to utilize this excess water stored

Thumb rule: Water once a week

Water only when top one inch of soil is dry.

If you can see water through window in smart bottom tray, it means there is no immediate need of water. If you can see whole plant looking dry, increase the frequency. Too much leaves falling off easily may mean excess watering. Observe and change

Ficus Ginseng is not suitable at low light areas.

Place it where there is medium to bright indirect sunlight.

 Bright direct sunlight for long time can burn the leaves.
