Ficus umbellata

Ficus umbellata

• Beautiful, uncommon tropical tree.
• Large, heart-shaped leaves with a shiny finish.
• A lesser-known cousin of the popular fiddle leaf fig.

Care:

• Light: Bright, ideally with some morning sun (east window). Hot afternoon sun will scorch the leaves.
• Water: Allow the top 30% of soil to dry between watering; avoid overwatering or allowing the soil to remain dry for an extended period.
• Fertilizer: Use an all-purpose fertilizer such as Schultz Indoor Plant Food (10-15-10) once or twice monthly.
• Other tips: Avoid placing near drafts or heat registers; leaf drop will occur if plants are stressed by temperature fluctuations or lack of light. Appreciates high humidity; mist frequently or use a humidifier if necessary. Grows best in an undersized pot; use well-drained potting mix; we recommend Pro-Mix Tropical Plant Mix with extra perlite added.
