Pro Tips

The variegation on this Ficus is light-dependent — the brighter the indirect light, the more vivid the cream and green contrast on each leaf. Avoid moving it frequently once settled, as Ficus are sensitive to location changes and may drop leaves in protest. Wipe leaves with a damp cloth monthly to keep them dust-free and photosynthesizing at full capacity.
