3. Origin & Distribution
Native to South and Southeast Asia, including southern China, India, Malaysia, and northern Australia. Widely cultivated and naturalized in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide as an ornamental and bonsai plant.
4. Visual Characteristics
Single, smooth gray trunk supporting a dense, rounded crown. Leaves are small, leathery, elliptic to ovate, 5–10 cm long, glossy dark green. Topiary is trained into formal shapes by regular pruning.
5. Size & Dimensions
Height: 1.2–1.8 m (including container) for standard indoor topiary
Spread: 0.5–1 m
6. Light Requirements
Bright, indirect light; tolerates some morning or late afternoon sun. Avoid prolonged direct midday sun and deep shade.
7. Watering Needs
Keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Allow top 2–3 cm to dry between waterings. Reduce frequency in winter; avoid letting soil dry out completely.
8. Soil & Potting
Use a well‐draining potting mix rich in organic matter. Preferably loam‐based or peat‐perlite blend. Repot every 2–3 years, increasing pot diameter by 2–5 cm.
9. Temperature & Humidity
Optimal temperature 15–29 °C (60–85 °F). Minimum 13 °C (55 °F). Prefers moderate to high humidity; mist leaves occasionally or use a humidity tray if air is dry.
10. Fertilization
Feed with a balanced water‐soluble fertilizer (e.g., 10‐10‐10) every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Do not fertilize in winter.
11. Maintenance & Care Level
Moderate care. Regular pruning and shaping required to maintain form. Clean leaves to remove dust. Monitor for pests and adjust watering as needed.
12. Growth & Propagation
Moderate growth rate. Propagate by air‐layering or semi‐ripe stem cuttings. Cuttings root in 4–6 weeks when kept warm and humid; use rooting hormone for best results.
13. Common Problems
Issues include root rot from overwatering, leaf drop from low humidity or temperature stress, and pests like scale, spider mites, and mealybugs. Yellowing leaves may indicate nutrient deficiency or overwatering.
14. Benefits & Uses
Ornamental topiary for homes, offices, reception areas, and patios; enhances modern interior design with evergreen structure. Known for air‐purifying qualities. Popular in Feng Shui for promoting balance.
15. Toxicity & Safety
Leaves and sap contain ficin, which can cause skin irritation. Toxic to pets (cats and dogs) if ingested, causing gastrointestinal upset and vomiting.
