Ficus microcarpa
Cute aerial roots and round leaves. In Okinawa known as home of Kijimuna spirits. Hardy and tolerates pruning well.
Ficus microcarpa, known as Chinese banyan, Indian laurel, or Malayan banyan, is an evergreen tree in the family Moraceae with a native range spanning from India through China, Japan, and Southeast Asia to Queensland, Australia. In Okinawa, it is revered as the dwelling place of forest spirits (Kijimunaa) and is considered a bringer of good fortune. The species is admired for its striking aerial roots that eventually merge with the trunk, creating a dramatic, sculptural silhouette even in pot cultivation. It prefers strong natural light and does best near a bright window. Water thoroughly when the soil dries, with more frequent watering during the growing season (spring to autumn) and reduced watering in winter. Fast-growing and responsive to pruning, making it easy to maintain a desired shape. Its unique form makes it a popular statement plant for interior spaces.
