Hi there, all the Ficus that ive had in the past have enjoyed full sunlight from the sunniest window in my house. They can tolerate shaded areas but take longer to grow.
As for watering this is something that takes a bit of practice. If you spray your plant a lot it wont need watered so much from the roots as they take in water through their leaves and stems - more spraying less watering!! There is no set day to water any plant as watering has a lot to do with the environment your plant is in, if its in a hot area it will drink more than if its in a cold area the same goes for a well lit area as opposed to a shaded area.
What i do is water the plant and watch over the next few days to see when the leaves start to droop and the plant looks a bit dry and that is usually when i water them. It takes a bit of practice but you will get the hang of it!! Remember all plants will tell you what they require if its light, water or a feed - we as growers have to learn to 'read' what our little babies are telling us! It sounds tricky but through time and observation you will get the hang of it!! cheers Phil G
