Pet safety guideAbout Ficus Alii
Ficus Alii (Ficus maclellandii) is a graceful tropical fig from Southeast Asia grown as an elegant indoor tree, with long, narrow, glossy leaves on a slender trunk. It is easier to grow than fiddle-leaf fig and makes an excellent houseplant or patio specimen in NE Florida, overwintered indoors when temperatures drop below 40°F.

Care essentials
Grow in bright indirect light indoors; avoid direct afternoon sun which causes leaf scorch. An east- or north-facing window is ideal. In NE Florida, container plants can summer outdoors in bright shade or filtered light.
Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil dry out; do not overwater. Use room-temperature water and ensure excellent drainage. Reduce watering in winter when growth slows.
Use a well-draining, slightly acidic potting mix (pH 6.0–6.5) amended with perlite. Fertilize monthly from spring through summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer; do not fertilize in fall or winter.
