Ficus umbellata 6 Inch

Ficus <em>umbellata</em> is a lesser-known member of the fig family that includes indoor favorites such as Fiddle Leaf Figs, Weeping Figs and Rubber plants. Frankly, the lack of a common name may be part of the reason why Ficus  <em>umbellata</em> is not seen as often, because it is, quite simply, a gorgeous plant with heart-shaped leaves that can grow to four feet tall and wide at maturity. Reportedly less temperamental than its better known cousins, this variety does best in a well-lit environment with higher humidity, and appreciates thorough watering when the top inch of soil is dry. As is true of all ficus plants, Ficus  <em>umbellata</em> is not pet-friendly, so please keep chewing pets away from this beauty.
