Ficus altissima | Variegated Golden Rubber Tree | Ornamental Tree | Indoor | Statement Piece & Modern Office Decor

🌿 About the Plant

The Ficus Altissima is a trendy relative of the Ficus Lyrata (Fiddle Leaf Fig) but is generally much easier to care for!

Vibe: Modern, tropical, and high-contrast.

Air Purifying: Like most Ficus species, it’s great at filtering indoor toxins from the air.

💧 How to Care

Light: Bright, indirect light. To keep the yellow variegation bright, it needs plenty of light. If the light is too low, the new leaves will turn solid green.

Watering: Wait for the top 2 inches of soil to dry out before watering. Overwatering will cause leaves to drop.

Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix.

Maintenance: Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks to remove dust so the plant can photosynthesize efficiently.

⚠️ Quick Note

Like all Ficus plants, the sap is a milky latex that can be irritating to the skin and is toxic if ingested by pets. Handle with care if you're pruning it!
