What it is: This listing is a plant sold as Ficus triangularis Variegated. This care follows general Ficus guidance. Our photos show triangular cream-edged leaves.

Light: Bright indirect light suits most indoor Ficus trees; protect them from harsh afternoon sun (NC State Extension). A grow bulb can help through dark winters. No light level guarantees how bold the variegation on new leaves will stay.

Watering & care: Water when the top of the mix begins to dry; avoid chronically soggy soil. Use a well-drained houseplant mix. Water less in winter as growth slows.

Humidity: Medium home humidity is usually fine; very dry air can stress leaves (NC State Extension). A room humidifier helps in winter; a pebble tray gives only a small, local boost.

Temperature: Keep it warm and away from cold drafts; NC State Extension suggests temperatures above about 13 °C (55 °F) for common indoor Ficus (NC State Extension). Clemson HGIC suggests roughly 16–18 °C (60–65 °F) nights and 24–27 °C (75–80 °F) days for rubber plants, avoiding sudden drops.

Winter indoors: In winter, keep it away from cold windows, drafts and heating vents, water less often as growth slows, and still check the mix before watering. Avoid moving it often if it is a weeping fig, which can drop leaves after a move.

Expected indoor size: As a houseplant, NC State Extension lists many common Ficus trees about 0.6–3 m (2–10 ft) tall when trained or supported indoors. Clemson HGIC notes rubber plants can reach about 1.8–3 m (6–10 ft) or more indoors if there is space, and they can be pruned to stay smaller. How large yours gets depends on light, warmth, pot size, pruning and care, and we can't promise a particular height, leaf size, shape or pattern.

Feeding: Feed lightly in spring and summer while it is growing (Clemson HGIC); our Schultz All Purpose Plant Food works at a light dilution. Ease off in fall and winter.

Pets & pests: The milky latex sap can irritate skin; gloves are wise when pruning (NC State Extension; Clemson HGIC). Ficus is toxic to dogs, cats and horses if chewed or eaten (ASPCA; NC State Extension). Keep it out of reach of pets and children. Watch for scale, mealybugs, spider mites, thrips and aphids (NC State Extension).

About your plant: Every plant is a little different. Size, fullness, leaf count and variegation vary from plant to plant and change with age and light; young plants may not yet show mature leaf features, so we can't promise a particular leaf size, shape or pattern. The size option (4", 10" - NO SHIP -) refers to the pot diameter. It does not guarantee an exact plant height, trail length or leaf count. Photos show typical plants from our greenhouse, not the specific plant you will receive. The shared gallery image shows other Ficus as inspiration. Options marked NO SHIP can't be shipped, but are available for pickup or local delivery.
