Basic Care
Ficus Altissima does best in bright, indirect light. Keep away from direct light as this will burn the leaves.
Soil should be allowed to dry about halfway before watering. If the soil stays too moist, the leaves may drop. Keep away from any drafts.
Outdoors, this plant can reach heights of up to 40 feet tall. In your home, it can reach up to an average of 6-8 feet. If the lighting is too low the variegation will begin to fade.
