Ficus altissima – Majestic Evergreen Fig

Ficus altissima Blume is a large, evergreen fig tree native to southeastern Asia. It often begins life as an epiphyte, growing on other trees – especially palms – before sending down aerial roots that eventually reach the ground. Over time, these roots can encircle and replace the host tree, a characteristic shared with other figs. In some cases, it also grows as a lithophyte, establishing itself on rock walls, buildings, and even bridges. Due to its extensive root system and immense size, it is unsuitable as a street or landscape tree, but when cultivated in a pot, it makes an attractive houseplant.

Foliage and Growth Habit of Ficus altissima

  • Leaf Shape: Elliptic to ovate, smooth, and glossy.
  • Color and Texture: Dark green with a leathery texture; some cultivars exhibit variegation.
  • Growth Habit: In nature, grows into a massive tree, but remains compact when grown indoors.

What You Need to Know About Ficus altissima

  • Size: Can grow up to 30 meters in the wild; remains smaller in containers.
  • Natural Habitat: Native to tropical forests of southeastern Asia, often growing as an epiphyte or lithophyte.
  • Toxicity: Contains a milky sap that may cause irritation and is considered toxic to pets.
  • Lifecycle: Long-lived, evergreen perennial tree.

Care Guide for Ficus altissima

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but tolerates some direct sun.
  • Watering: Water when the top layer of soil dries out; avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
  • Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity but adapts well to indoor conditions.
  • Temperature: Thrives in warm environments between 18 – 30°C; protect from cold drafts.
  • Soil: Requires well-draining, nutrient-rich soil.
  • Repotting: Repot every 2 – 3 years or when root-bound.
  • Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4 – 6 weeks during the growing season.
  • Propagation: Easily propagated through stem cuttings in water or soil.

Common Issues and Solutions for Ficus altissima

  • Leaf Drop: Can result from sudden temperature changes, low humidity, or overwatering.
  • Yellowing Leaves: Often caused by excessive moisture or poor drainage.
  • Pests: Susceptible to spider mites, scale, and mealybugs; regularly clean leaves and use neem oil if needed.

Additional Notes on Ficus altissima

Although massive in its natural habitat, Ficus altissima adapts well to container growth indoors. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape, and stable environmental conditions prevent stress-related leaf drop.

Etymology of Ficus altissima

The genus name Ficus comes from Latin, meaning "fig tree," and was officially classified by Linnaeus in 1753. The species name "altissima" refers to its tall growth habit.

Great value, perfect for our infant room!
Color: Black, Size: Standard - 4 Panel
Great product, sturdy design and easy to build! It is a fairly light weight item, which aids in the maneuverability of the divider. The color was as described and is dark enough to block the light from our sleeping infants! I do love that you are able to see through the slats and see the child sleeping- if you are looking for something with MORE privacy, this is not it. It has great coverage area and is dark and a wonderful value for the price, however, you are able to see through the areas where each panel connects!

Don’t waste your money or time!
Color: White, Size: Standard - 4 Panel
Don’t waste your money. The instructions make no sense and the metal poles are either sized wrong for the product or screw holes are incorrectly placed, but no two poles matched in size and placement making it impossible to put this together without the panels being warped. No matter how I tried to switch the poles to see if I had them wrong, they always turned out warped and incorrectly fit. I finally gave up and threw everything out - I wasted $50 on this junk and because I didn’t try to put it together immediately after I bought it, it is way too late for a refund. Lesson learned!

Sturdiness
Color: Black, Size: Standard - 4 Panel
Not so sturdy. It worked well for its intended job, but, it has to be secured to the floor for long term use.
