Large strangely shaped glossy leaves (hence the name!) grow in a whorl up the long straight stem of this shapely fig. Branches will grow from the leaf bases in time creating a wonderfully exotic specimen

Site: Bright indirect light to bright shade.

Temp: Average warmth. It does not like getting cold.

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: Leaf drop can be due to dry air or overwatering, only prune in winter.
