6" Ficus Triangularis

This 6" Ficus triangularis is one of the easiest ficus houseplants to grow indoors. Although ficus plants are notoriously fussy indoor plants, the ficus triangularis isn’t in this category. Also called the triangle ficus, the leafy plant gets its name from the leaves in the shape of a triangle. The truncate-shaped waxy leaves are a shiny dark green color and cover the woody plant’s stems. The ficus triangularis ‘Variegata’ has triangular-shaped green leaves with creamy-white margins and veins for a more dramatic appearance.

To care for a ficus triangularis houseplant, grow the leafy plant in bright light, protected from direct sunlight. A ficus triangularis thrives in well-draining fertile soil in temperatures above 55°F (13°C). Water the plant when the top layer of soil is dry and fertilize every four weeks to six weeks during the growing season.
