All about
The Ficus dossier
Ficus
Ficuses grow in the tropics of Asia, Africa and Australia, from dense rainforests to open plains. The best-known houseplants from the family are the Ficus lyrata with its large violin-shaped leaves, the fine-leaved Ficus benjamina and the sturdy Ficus elastica.
What they share: glossy foliage, tree-like growth and a look that makes any room more mature.

Placement and light
Give a Ficus a light spot without bright afternoon sun; ochtend- of avondzon is prima. Belangrijk om te weten: een Ficus is honkvast. Choose a permanent spot and move it as little as possible, because moving and drafts can cause it to drop leaves.
Keep the temperature above 15 degrees and do not place it directly above a warm radiator.
Water and feeding
Water about once a week in summer and once every ten to fourteen days in winter. Let the top centimeters of soil dry first. Be cautious: too much water is the most common mistake with a Ficus.
Provide plant food every two weeks from March to September and wipe large leaves occasionally with a damp cloth.
Is something wrong with your Ficus?
In Ficus, leaf loss is usually a response to change: a move, a draft or a darker place. Give him time, he almost always recovers. Yellow leaves indicate too much water, brown edges indicate dry air. Sticky leaves may indicate scale or mealybug.
Repot a Ficus every two to three years in the spring, in a pot that is about twenty percent wider. Use light potting soil and a sturdy pot: large specimens are top heavy. Wear gloves because of the milky juice. You can find the matching decorative pots directly on this page.
Toxic to pets?
The milky sap of the Ficus is slightly poisonous to cats and dogs and can irritate the mouth and stomach when chewed. The sap can also be sensitive on the skin. Place the plant out of reach of nibbling pets or choose an animal-friendly alternative.
With enough light, a Ficus grows steadily and can grow into a real indoor tree indoors. Pruning is allowed throughout the spring and keeps the shape compact. Our XXL specimens have already been grown as full-fledged trees.
In the wild the Ficus altissima is a large tree; indoors, with enough light, it grows into a sizeable indoor tree. XXLplant sells the Ficus altissima variegata at 100 cm tall, measured including the nursery pot. Pruning keeps it compact.
What is the difference between Ficus altissima variegata and Yellow Gem?
Both names are used for a Ficus altissima with variegated leaves: a green centre with a yellowish-white or yellow edge. The care is the same. What matters for both is plenty of light, otherwise the variegation fades.
Where should you put a Ficus altissima variegata?
Place it close to a window with plenty of light, but out of harsh midday sun. Choose a permanent spot without draughts, because a ficus does not like being moved. It feels most at home between 16 and 24 °C.
How often should you water a Ficus altissima?
About once a week, when the top layer of soil has dried out a little. It needs less in winter. Don't leave water standing in the bottom of the pot.
Is the Ficus altissima toxic to cats and dogs?
The milky sap of ficus plants is toxic to cats and dogs and can irritate the skin. So keep the plant out of reach of pets and wear gloves when pruning.
Why is my Ficus altissima dropping leaves after delivery?
A ficus reacts to a move, less light or draughts by dropping a few leaves. That's fairly normal in the first weeks in a new spot. Give it a fixed, bright spot and don't keep moving it, and it will produce new leaves.
