Ficus triangularis

Easy to grow and highly adaptable, it thrives in Miami's heat and humidity with minimal care.
🌿 Perennial in South Florida
🌍 Native Origin: Tropical Africa
☀️ Light: Performs best in bright indirect light to full sun; tolerates some shade indoors but grows fuller with more light.
💧 Water: Water moderately and allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings; avoid overwatering which can cause leaf drop.
📏 Size: Typically reaches 4–8 ft tall in containers and landscape settings; responds well to pruning to maintain desired shape and size.
🌸 Bloom Time: Grown primarily for its distinctive triangular foliage rather than flowers; not a blooming plant.
🌱 Landscape Use: Excellent as a specimen plant, informal hedge, or patio container; works beautifully as a statement piece in tropical garden designs and covered outdoor spaces.
💡 Casaplanta Tip: Plant in Coast of Maine Bar Harbor Blend for excellent drainage and moisture retention, and feed monthly with Espoma Plant Tone to support vigorous, healthy foliage growth year-round.
