Ficus Alii is a graceful, easy-going member of the fig family with long, slender green leaves that arch gently from upright stems. A sculptural option for bright rooms, it adds height and a touch of understated drama without the diva behaviour of some of its relatives. Plant Care Light: Likes bright indirect light and will tolerate some direct sun. It is low-light tolerant, but you will lose the lovely variegation that makes this plant a stunner. Watering: Let your plant dry out in between waterings. This plant is drought tolerant and will fair better if you underwater rather than overwater. Mine is in an East facing window, and I water it about every two weeks. Temperature: 16-24°C and not below 10°C. Potting: These plants like a well-draining mix, and our A Sandy Loam mix is an excellent choice for this plant. Hot tips: These plants are fussy about change. If you do decide to change its location, be sure to do so slowly. These plants love to grow if they are happy, and you can trim them back if need be; just be careful to avoid getting the sap on your skin, as it can be an irritant. Pet Friendly: Nope
