Ficus umbellata ~ Monrovia Umbrella Fig

Monrovia Umbrella Fig is an upright tropical plant with massive glossy heart-shaped foliage with deep veining on thin stems. They grows best with brightindirect sunwith protection from afternoon sunandwell-drained soils. When grown indoor it can reach up to 4ft. Can take gentle direct light if acclimated.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS:Use a slow release fertilizer every 4 months. Leaf drop will occur as a sign of stress (which can be caused by lack of light, too much/not enough water, drafts, pests, etc). Will quickly start to lean toward sunlight if near a window- to keep the plant straight just rotate the pot when watering.
