Ficus Umbellata

Ficus umbellata is an evergreen tree in the family Moraceae, native to the tropical rainforests of West Africa. Distinguished by its large, vivid, heart-shaped leaves with a fresh bright green color, it has become a popular statement plant in stylish cafes and interior spaces. Indoors it grows to 2–2.5 m. It prefers bright indirect light; direct sun causes leaf scorch. Water thoroughly when the soil dries — wilting leaves are a clear signal of thirst. Fast-growing, benefiting from annual repotting. Like other ficus, dust accumulates on the large leaf surface, so wiping leaves periodically maintains their natural sheen. Despite its simple leaf shape, the dramatic size and lush color give it a bold decorative presence that pairs beautifully with natural, contemporary interiors.
