Ficus altissima makes a terrific statement houseplant inside or on a patio, reaching 6 feet tall as a container plant. Known as Asian council tree or lofty fig, this ficus boasts large, glossy leaves with a beautiful pattern of lemon and lime green hues, making it a visually striking addition to any indoor or patio jungle. This plant is a popular choice for adding a tropical vibe to any space. Its upright growth habit makes it an excellent choice for filling empty corners or adding height to a room. With its vibrant colors and lush foliage, Ficus altissima is sure to become a focal point in your home or office or on your patio. Those living in temperate areas in south Florida and Southern California can grow Ficus altissima in the ground where hot afternoon direct sun is not an issue. Ficus altissima is a relatively low-maintenance plant that thrives in bright, indirect light but tolerates lower light. It prefers well-draining soil and should be watered when the top two inches of soil feel dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Feed at half strength with houseplant food in spring and summer. Takes well to pruning. Aim for a humidity level of around 50% percent.
