Product Details
The Ficus Altissima is a vibrant addition to your indoor plant collection! It is a variegated plant, with neon hues of green and yellow. It is certainly one of the more whimsical-looking plants in the Ficus family. Its' leaves remind me of emeralds, and in fact, this plant has also been called the "Golden Gem" Rubber Tree! (Although it is not really a Rubber Tree, just a cousin)
Lighting
The ficus altissimas love the light but toooo much direct sun can burn the leaves so it is in your best interest to keep a balance. We tell our customers to keep the plant in an indirect (or direct under 4 hours/day) bright light. We know that might be confusing to some people so we made a lighting guide for you (coming soon).
Remember to rotate the plant every few days so that the whole plant can receive an even spread of sunlight
Watering schedule
Give her some water when the first 3-4 inches (ish) of the soil is dry across a few spots of the soil. That is usually around every 3-4 weeks or so for most indoor environments but it really all depends.
When you do water, it is important to water her slowly and thoroughly (*wink wink) That translates to 2-3 minutes of continuous, loving, and slow watering. You might see water coming out the bottom when you're done (wink wink wink)
Seriously though, if you want to make sure you're watering your plants correctly, head over to our ultimate houseplant watering guide to make yourself a watering expert :) (coming soon)
p.s: if you came through a google search hoping to learn how to water the ficus Altissimas, you should read our general ficus watering guide (coming soon) because the instructions given above is meant for the ficus of our Huge Size (17" diameter pot). (yes the size of the plant affects the watering instruction)
