Ficus in general are NOT low light plants. Windows with no direct sun will work, but east or west windows with some direct sun are better choices.
Allow the top 1-2 inches of the potting soil to dry out before watering again. Avoid letting it dry out completely.
Use a well-drained potting mix. Adding perlite and orchid bark will improve drainage.
