Not
a very well known type of fig, large leaves a little like
rubber plant have wonderfully elegant pale green veins that
show up beautifully against the dark green of the leaf.
Not difficult
to look after and is a great choice if you are looking for
something a little more unusual.
In the
wild throughout India these trees can reach hectares in
width and are one on the largest trees in the world! Dont
worry though it will take a while at home.
Site:
Bright indirect light to bright shade, will take a small
amount of direct sun.
Temp:
Average warmth.
Water:
Quite regularly in the growing season but leave to dry out
slightly first. Rarely over the winter months. Benefits
from occasional misting.
Feeding:
A liquid feed every month or so.
Tip:
the main reason for rapid leaf drop and/or wilting is overwatering.
Only water if dry and if it starts to wilt when damp try
to resist the urge to nurse it back!
