Long Leaf Ficus Tree

The Long Leaf Ficus Tree is also called Ficus Alii, and this newer variety of fig tree is a great choice for areas in your home where the light levels are lower, as it will not shed its leaves in lower light, or when it is moved around. This beautiful tree has long, narrow willow-like leaves on a tall trunk, and it grows perfectly in any indoor location in bright to medium light, out of the direct sunlight. It is drought tolerant and only needs watering when 50% of the soil has become dry, so it does not need constant attention. Its beautiful glossy leaves make it the perfect choice for any décor at all, wherever you want a tree-like form. This tree brings beauty to any corner of your rooms, and it can also be grown outdoors in a shady spot during the summer months.

• Graceful long, narrow leaves
• Elegant houseplant for medium light levels
• Does not shed its foliage when moved around
• Easily grown in an indoor environment
• Perfect tree-like form for any home décor

Use regular houseplant soil to grow your Long Leaf Ficus Tree in a pot with drainage holes. Never leave it standing in a saucer of water, and only water when the upper half of the soil is dry. It enjoys living with a pot full of roots, so it does not need to be repotted very often. Use liquid fertilizer during spring and summer, and trim in late winter if needed. This tree is usually free of pests and diseases, and it will grow well in many different locations, keeping its leaves and looking full and beautiful all year round.
