Ficus Triangularis

Scientific name

Ficus triangularis

General description

Ficus triangularis is an elegant houseplant with unique, bright green, triangular leaves. Its light, branching silhouette, combined with its geometric foliage, makes it a modern and architectural decorative plant. Variegated forms also exist, but the classic green variety is particularly robust.

Origin

Native to the tropical regions of Africa, where it grows as a small tree or shrub.

Interview

• Light : bright indirect light; tolerates medium brightness but prefers good lighting.

• Watering : water when the first few centimeters of the substrate are dry; avoid overwatering.

• Humidity : moderate; prefers slightly humid air but adapts well to indoor environments.

• Temperature : between 18 and 27 °C; sensitive to cold and drafts.

• Substrate : well-draining, rich and aerated mix.

Specific advice

• Prefers stability: avoid moving it around too much.

• Clean the leaves to promote photosynthesis and maintain the brightness of the green.

• May lose a few leaves when changing environment — normal if the plant is adapting.

• Toxic if swallowed by humans and animals.
