With attractive, glossy leaves and graceful, arching stems that are almost palm-like in appearance, it is a versatile and attractive indoor green foliage option.
Ficus maclellandii Alii – Long Leafed Fig Care & Info Guide
Horty Hints
The brighter the better! Ficus Alii is more robust than its cousins, but will drop some leaves if it doesn’t get enough bright light.
Although more robust than other Ficus’, leaf drop may still occur with improper watering. Adjust your watering schedule and your plant should quickly recover.
Give your Ficus a trim to maintain the desired shape, but be aware that sticky latex will ooze from the ends of the cut stems! This can be an irritant, so make sure to wash your hands if any comes into contact with your skin.
Light
Ficus Alii prefers bright, indirect light, but can tolerate partial shade. Direct sunlight may scorch the leaves. It is less likely than other Ficus to drop its leaves when moved.
Watering
Water when the soil starts to become slightly dry at the top. Keep the soil slightly moist at all times, but do not overwater as this will cause leaf drop.
Temperature
The Ficus Alii does well in normal household temperatures but prefers slightly warmer conditions: between 16-24°C. Avoid cold draughts.
Humidity
This Ficus has no specific humidity requirements, although for an added boost, consider giving your plant an occasional misting.
Feed
Apply a weak dose of a fertiliser once or twice a month during the growing season.
Height & Growth Rate
This Ficus is fast-growing in optimum conditions, usually reaching an ultimate height of 3 metres. Prune to maintain desired height.
