Pro Tip
Rotate your plant every few weeks to encourage even growth and prevent leaning. Wipe leaves occasionally to keep them dust-free and vibrant.
-
Light and Placement
Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its variegation and overall health. Too little light may cause leaves to drop or lose contrast. Place it near a window with filtered sunlight and avoid long periods of direct sun, which can cause leaf burn.
-
Watering and Care
Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Ficus triangularis prefers consistent moisture but does not like to sit in water. Good drainage is essential. It enjoys stable conditions, so try to avoid sudden changes in temperature, drafts, or light levels.

Growth and Size
This ficus grows upright and remains relatively compact indoors. Expect heights of 2 to 4 feet over time. You can prune to shape or let it fill out naturally as it matures.
