Triangle Ficus

The Triangle Ficus is a small, tropical fig tree which is grown as a shrub. The leaves of the Triangle Ficus are by far the main attraction, with their very cool triangle shape and dark stem coming out of the tips creates contrast on this free-formed plant. Beautiful 2 to 3 inch variegated triangular leaves and a dwarf, compact habit distinguish this interesting houseplant. Young leaves are broadly edged golden yellow and patterned in shades of dark green and gray green. Older leaves are patterned light and dark green, with no two leaves exactly alike.
