FICUS

Versatile and enduring, Ficus offers beauty and variety for any indoor space.

Ficus is a diverse genus of about 850 species, including woody trees, shrubs, vines, and epiphytes, found primarily in tropical regions. Known for its glossy leaves in a variety of colors and patterns, Ficus plants range from creeping vines to towering indoor trees, such as the iconic Ficus benjamina, Ficus elastica, and Ficus lyrata. These low-maintenance plants are popular as decorative elements, food sources, and even religious symbols. Native to tropical and subtropical zones, Ficus trees are both functional and beautiful but require specific care tailored to each variety.

Fun Fact: The Bodhi tree under which Buddha achieved enlightenment is a Ficus religiosa, a sacred species revered for centuries.
