1. Basic Identification
Common Name: Alii Ficus
Botanical Name: Ficus maclellandii
Former Name: Not available
Plant Type: Not available
Plant Code / SKU: PLT-0651
Alternative Names:
فيكس علي
2. Taxonomy & Classification
Order: Rosales
Family: Moraceae
Genus: Ficus
3. Origin & Distribution
Native to the Western Ghats of India and parts of Southeast Asia. Widely cultivated and naturalized in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide as a popular indoor and shade-tolerant ornamental.
4. Visual Characteristics
Slender, erect woody stems bear long, narrow lanceolate leaves 8–15 cm long and 1–3 cm wide. Leaves are glossy dark green, occasionally with a subtle variegation or bronze-tinged new growth. Habit is upright and architectural with an airy canopy.
5. Size & Dimensions
Indoors typically reaches 1.2–1.8 m tall with a 0.6–0.9 m spread. Stem diameter up to 3 cm. Leaves measure approximately 8–15 cm in length and 1–3 cm in width.
6. Light Requirements
Best in bright, indirect light. Tolerates medium light but growth may slow. Avoid prolonged direct afternoon sun to prevent leaf scorch; morning or filtered light is ideal.
7. Watering Needs
Keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry between waterings. Reduce frequency in winter when growth slows.
8. Soil & Potting
Use a well-draining potting mix—peat or coco coir–based media amended with perlite or bark. Ensure pots have drainage holes. Repot every 2–3 years or when root-bound.
9. Temperature & Humidity
Optimal temperature range 18–27 °C; avoid drops below 15 °C. Prefers moderate to high humidity (40–60%+); benefits from occasional misting or placement on a humidity tray.
10. Fertilization
Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced (10-10-10 or 20-20-20) water-soluble fertilizer at half the label rate. Suspend feeding in autumn and winter.
11. Maintenance & Care Level
Moderate care level. Requires regular dusting of leaves, routine monitoring of moisture, and occasional pruning to maintain shape and remove dead material.
12. Growth & Propagation
Propagate via semi-hardwood stem cuttings: trim a 10–15 cm shoot with several leaves, dip in rooting hormone, and root in moist soil or water. Air layering is also effective for larger specimens.
13. Common Problems
Pests: spider mites, mealybugs, scale insects.
Physiological: leaf yellowing and drop from overwatering or underwatering, leaf scorch from direct sun, root rot in poorly drained soil.
14. Benefits & Uses
Striking architectural form makes it an excellent floor specimen. Improves indoor air quality by filtering formaldehyde and benzene. Enhances modern interiors with a calm, professional aesthetic.
15. Toxicity & Safety
All parts contain milky sap (ficin) that can irritate skin and mucous membranes. Toxic if ingested by pets or humans, causing oral irritation, drooling, vomiting, or diarrhea. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
