Kau\u00e7uk \u00e7i\u00e7e\u011fi (Ficus elastica), evlerde ve ofislerde yayg\u0131n olarak tercih edilen dayan\u0131kl\u0131 ve g\u00f6steri\u015fli bir ye\u015fil bitkidir. 1,5 ila 3 metreye kadar uzayabilen yapraklar\u0131, parlak ve kal\u0131n yap\u0131s\u0131yla bilinir. T\u00fcrkiye\u2019de yayg\u0131n olarak i\u00e7 mekanlarda yeti\u015ftirilir ve y\u0131lda ortalama 20-30 cm b\u00fcy\u00fcme g\u00f6sterebilir. Kau\u00e7uk \u00e7i\u00e7e\u011fi, do\u011fru bak\u0131m uyguland\u0131\u011f\u0131nda 10-15 y\u0131la kadar sa\u011fl\u0131kl\u0131 kalabilir. K\u0131\u015f aylar\u0131nda optimal geli\u015fim i\u00e7in 18-22 \u00b0C s\u0131cakl\u0131k, yaz\u0131n ise 20-26 \u00b0C aras\u0131nda bir ortam idealdir. Toprak se\u00e7imi olarak, humuslu ve iyi drene olan toprak kar\u0131\u015f\u0131mlar\u0131 tercih edilmelidir. Y\u0131lda 2-3 defa do\u011fru g\u00fcbreleme yap\u0131lmas\u0131 bitkinin yaprak sa\u011fl\u0131\u011f\u0131 ve geli\u015fimine olumlu katk\u0131 sa\u011flar. Ayd\u0131nlatma ihtiya\u00e7lar\u0131 orta seviyede olup, do\u011frudan g\u00fcne\u015f \u0131\u015f\u0131\u011f\u0131ndan uzak tutulmal\u0131d\u0131r, aksi takdirde yapraklarda yan\u0131klar olu\u015fabilir. Sulama miktar\u0131 ise topra\u011f\u0131n \u00fcst 3-4 cm\u2019si kuruduk\u00e7a yap\u0131l\u0131r, a\u015f\u0131r\u0131 sulama k\u00f6klerin \u00e7\u00fcr\u00fcmesine yol a\u00e7ar. Kau\u00e7uk \u00e7i\u00e7e\u011fi bak\u0131m\u0131, ortam ko\u015fullar\u0131na ve d\u00f6nemin mevsimine g\u00f6re ayarland\u0131\u011f\u0131nda uzun s\u00fcreli dayan\u0131kl\u0131l\u0131k g\u00f6sterir.<\/p>\n
