2. Taxonomy & Classification
Order: Rosales
Family: Moraceae
Genus: Ficus
3. Origin & Distribution
Native to western Africa, from Cameroon to Sierra Leone.
Widely cultivated worldwide as a popular indoor ornamental plant.
4. Visual Characteristics
Leaves large, leathery, and glossy with a distinctive fiddle or violin shape, typically 20–45 cm long.
Dark green leaf surface with pronounced lighter veins.
Trunk slender, woody, and erect; may develop aerial roots in humid conditions.
5. Size & Dimensions
Typical indoor height: 1–3 m (3–10 ft).
Leaf length: 20–45 cm (8–18 in).
Recommended pot diameter for young plants: 20–30 cm (8–12 in); increase pot size gradually when repotting.
6. Light Requirements
Bright, indirect light; tolerates some direct morning or late afternoon sun.
Avoid deep shade or harsh midday sun, which can scorch leaves or slow growth.
7. Watering Needs
Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil is dry to the touch.
Maintain even moisture without waterlogging; allow excess water to drain to prevent root rot.
8. Soil & Potting
Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter (peat-based or coco coir) amended with perlite or orchid bark.
Repot every 12–24 months or when roots become pot-bound, choosing a container only one size larger.
9. Temperature & Humidity
Optimal temperature range: 18–24 °C (65–75 °F); minimum 16 °C (60 °F).
Prefers moderate to high humidity (50–60%); increase humidity by misting, pebble trays, or a humidifier.
10. Fertilization
Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer (e.g., 20-20-20) every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer growth periods.
Reduce or suspend feeding in autumn and winter when growth slows.
11. Maintenance & Care Level
Care level: Moderate.
Requires regular dusting or wiping of leaves to maintain photosynthesis efficiency and appearance.
Prune any dead or yellowing leaves and maintain upright form as needed.
12. Growth & Propagation
Grows as a single trunk or multi-stem tree indoors; may develop aerial roots in high humidity.
Propagate via stem cuttings in water or moist soil; air-layering is effective for larger specimens.
13. Common Problems
Leaf drop caused by overwatering, underwatering, or sudden environmental changes.
Brown leaf edges from low humidity, underwatering, or excess fertilizer salts.
Pests include mealybugs, spider mites, and scale; inspect regularly and treat promptly.
14. Benefits & Uses
Striking focal point in living rooms, offices, and reception areas.
Enhances modern and tropical interior aesthetics.
Contributes to improved indoor air quality by filtering airborne pollutants.
15. Toxicity & Safety
Contains ficin and other compounds that are toxic if ingested by pets or children, causing oral irritation and gastrointestinal upset.
Sap may cause skin irritation; wear gloves when handling damaged foliage.
