Description

Ficus umbellata is a unique and lesser-known member of the ficus family, admired for its large, graceful leaves and whimsical appearance. Native to West Africa, this striking plant has gained widespread popularity in Japan, where it is a common feature in homes and interiors.

In its natural habitat, Ficus umbellata can grow up to 12 feet tall, but when kept as a houseplant, it typically reaches a manageable 4 feet in height and width. Its broad, vibrant green leaves give it an airy, elegant look, making it a perfect statement piece for any indoor space.

LIGHT Prefers moderate to bright light. If it is not receiving enough light, the plant will appear to be reaching and new growth will be limited or smaller than older growth. Leaves may also begin to drop if the plant is not receiving enough light. If your foliage begins to discolour and look almost bleached, the plant may be receiving too much direct sunlight.

WATER This house plant requires moderate to low amounts of water. Let the soil dry down between 3″ and 4″ in between waterings. If the edges of the leaves begin to brown, you are most likely under-watering the plant. On the other hand, if the foliage begins to droop and yellow leaves begin falling, chances are you are over-watering the plant. Be careful not to continue over-watering this houseplant because it is susceptible to root or stem rot.

FERTILIZER For optimum plant health, fertilize with an all-purpose houseplant food April through October, following label directions. For all other months, fertilize half as often.
