Description:
The Heart of the African TropicsNative to the warm, tropical regions of West Africa, Ficus umbellata brings an exotic and sophisticated flair to any indoor plant collection. While it has long been cherished by rare plant collectors, it has recently exploded in mainstream popularity, valued for its dramatic silhouette and lush, vibrant presence that instantly elevates any interior space.
A Natural Air Purifier and Mood BoosterBeyond its stunning looks, the Heart-leaf Fig works to create a healthier and more serene environment.

Professional Grower's Care GuideOur starter plugs are acclimatized and ready for potting. To ensure successful growth into sellable specimens, follow these professional guidelines:
Light: Provide bright, indirect light. An east-facing window or a spot slightly away from a south or west window is ideal. It tolerates lower light conditions better than many other Ficus varieties.
Watering: Water thoroughly when the top 1-2 inches of the growing medium are dry. Ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot. It prefers consistent moisture but does not like to sit in water.
Soil: Use a well-aerated, fast-draining potting mix. A combination of peat, pine bark, and perlite is an excellent choice for healthy root development.
Fertilizing: During the active growing season (spring and summer), apply a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks to encourage vigorous leaf production.
Acclimation: Upon receipt, allow the plugs to acclimate to your nursery's conditions for a few days before transplanting into larger containers.
Versatile End-Product OpportunitiesThese starter plugs are the perfect B2B solution for creating a variety of high-value products:
Grow them out into premium 6-inch to 10-inch (15-25 cm) potted floor plants.
