We don’t blame you for being rapt by the beauty of the Umbrella Fig. We are too! With its large, spade-shaped leaves and minimalist charm, it effortlessly cultivates a lush and inviting ambience in any setting. Hence, its worldwide popularity comes as no surprise.

Similar to its cousin, the Fiddle Leaf Fig, the Ficus Umbellata thrives in bright, filtered light with gentle, direct sunlight, preferably during mornings or late afternoons. Consistent watering is key; ensure the soil remains moist but not overly saturated to prevent root rot. Please keep in mind humidity; the higher, the better. Regular pruning promotes bushier growth, ensuring a year-round spectacle. For the adventurous, try shaping it with bonsai wire for a whimsical touch.

With its undeniable visual appeal, consider pairing your Umbrella Tree Fig with a contemporary planter for a sleek, clean look, or opt for a Palm leaf basket for a softer, organic feel. Regardless of the style you choose, this plant is sure to create a significant impact.

Please note: Ficus is considered toxic if consumed. Best kept out of reach of hungry pets and children.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Follow these instructions to keep your Umbrella Fig healthy and happy:

Water: Keep the soil evenly moist, nominally, water once every 710 days. Drooping yellow leaves with black patches are a sign of overwatering. The plant prefers dry conditions during the winter season.
Light: Bright indirect light year-round, some dappled or softer direct sunlight is fine.
Humidity:Average room to high humidity. High humidity helps prevent Spider mites.
Fertilize: Balanced diluted fertiliser every 2 weeks from spring through summer.
