Ficus Altissima, like many other ficus varieties has the potential to be HUGE! Indoors it grow up to 6 feet, while outdoors, it can grow to almost 100 feet tall. It is an excellent air-purifier and features gorgeous lemon, lime, and dark green leaves.

Indoor houseplants need a balanced mix of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to maintain healthy leaves, vibrant flowers, and a strong root system. Most indoor houseplant plant foods will provide the right amount of nutrients for a wide variety of plants. Many include additional nutrients that are beneficial to plants such as boron, magnesium, and manganese. Plant foods come in different forms such as liquid, slow-release, or granular products.

This type of soil mix is ideal for most houseplants because it’s well-draining, lightweight, and easy to handle. A good indoor houseplant soil mix will include ingredients such as compost, pine bark, coir, worm castings, peat moss, hydrafiber, or perlite.

This ficus has some real growth potential.

I love mine. Pinching helps with promoting new growth 

It’s a good plant for beginners ready for a challenge. It can be a little fussy, but is also resilient. Make sure it gets lots of light and is not too cold!
