The Fiddle Leaf Fig gets all the press. The Ficus Altissima quietly outperforms it.

Same bold, tree-like presence. Broader, glossier leaves with that sought-after variegated lime and green pattern. Thicker trunk. And considerably less drama about its living situation. This Ficus Altissima tree is already the size most people are working toward - a wide, branching canopy on a substantial trunk that fills a room the way a piece of furniture can't.

Native to tropical forests across Southeast Asia, this fig can reach 100 feet in the wild. Indoors, a large container and your ceiling keep things more manageable - typically around 6 feet, which is exactly where this specimen already is. She's a commitment, and she's worth it.

She is not pet-friendly, so placement away from curious animals is worth thinking through before she arrives.

One plant. One home.

There's one of her. Book a live video call to meet her before someone else does - you say hello, she ships exactly as you saw her.

How much light does a Ficus Altissima need?

Ficus Altissima thrives in bright indirect light and benefits from a few hours of gentle direct sun - early morning or late afternoon - to maintain dense growth and strong variegation. Harsh midday sun through glass can scorch her leaves, so a position right beside your brightest window, rather than directly in it, works best. For a large specimen, rotating the pot periodically helps the canopy fill out evenly rather than leaning toward the light source.

How often should you water a Ficus Altissima?

Ficus Altissima should be watered when the top layer of soil has dried out, then watered slowly and thoroughly until water drains from the base. For a large specimen in a deep pot, this typically means watering every one to two weeks, more frequently in bright warm conditions and less in lower light or winter. Chronic overwatering is the main cause of root rot and yellowing leaves in this Ficus tree, so when in doubt, wait another day or two before watering.

What fertilizer does a Ficus Altissima need?

Ficus Altissima benefits from a balanced liquid fertilizer applied every four weeks during spring and summer. Large, actively growing specimens appreciate consistent feeding to maintain vigorous growth and foliage color, but over-fertilizing causes salt buildup and leaf tip damage, so sticking to the recommended dilution matters. Feeding should stop in autumn and winter when growth naturally slows.

What temperature does a Ficus Altissima like?

Ficus Altissima is most comfortable between 65-75°F (18-24°C) and prefers a stable, consistently warm room. Cold drafts, sudden temperature changes, and relocation can all trigger leaf drop in this fig - a well-known Ficus trait. She should never be exposed to near-freezing temperatures and is best kept away from exterior doors and air conditioning vents.

Does a Ficus Altissima like humidity?

Ficus Altissima prefers moderate to high humidity, ideally around 50% or above, for best foliage quality. For a large specimen, a room humidifier or grouping with other plants is more effective than misting alone. Low humidity shows up as brown, crispy leaf edges over time.

How big does a Ficus Altissima get indoors?

Indoors, Ficus Altissima is typically maintained at around 6 feet tall, with a broad, branching canopy that can spread several feet wide in good conditions. Container size and ceiling height are the practical limits - in her native Southeast Asian forests, this fig species reaches close to 100 feet tall. This particular specimen is already at that impressive indoor height, with the canopy to match.

How fast does a Ficus Altissima grow?

Ficus Altissima is a moderately fast grower under good light, warmth, and humidity - faster than many comparable indoor trees. Indoors, reaching 6 feet takes several years of consistent care, which is what makes a mature specimen worth having now. Growth slows noticeably in lower light or when the plant is pot-bound and underfed.

Is a Ficus Altissima pet-friendly?

Ficus Altissima is not pet-friendly. As a fig species, it contains irritating compounds in its sap and foliage - including ficin and psoralen - that are toxic to both cats and dogs. The ASPCA lists Ficus species as toxic to pets, with symptoms including drooling, vomiting, diarrhea, and skin irritation. She's best placed in a room or position that pets cannot access.

Is a Ficus Altissima toxic to cats?

Ficus Altissima is toxic to cats. The sap and foliage of fig trees can cause oral and gastrointestinal irritation, with symptoms including drooling, vomiting, and diarrhea. Any cat that chews the foliage should be monitored closely and a vet contacted if symptoms appear.

Is a Ficus Altissima toxic to dogs?

Ficus Altissima is toxic to dogs. Contact with or ingestion of the sap and foliage can cause gastrointestinal irritation and dermal irritation, with symptoms including vomiting, drooling, and lethargy. Dogs prone to chewing houseplants should be kept well away from her, and a vet should be contacted if ingestion occurs.

I stay on your foot they don’t slip in your shoe
Number of Items: 3, Color: White/Neutral (3-pairs), Size: Medium
This is the only socks I wear Under Armour because they stay in place I wear a size 8, but they’re more comfortable with a large instead of a medium, but I wear both because I have them already and you can pull them to stretch them out a little bit

Great fit, truly doesn’t slide off heel
Number of Items: 3, Color: White/Neutral (3-pairs), Size: Medium, Number of Items: 3, Color: White/Neutral (3-pairs), Size: Medium
I’ve scoured all the lands looking for a no-show sock that was 1) thin, 2) quality, soft, breathable material, 3) didn’t dig into my feet/heels, 4) doesn’t shrink, and most importantly 5) stays on the back of my heel without a bulky non-slip rubber piece and these check all the boxes! Perfect for low profile women’s work shoes like Keds, etc. Not low enough for most flats though. I wear a women’s size 9.

So good - I’m buying MORE.
Number of Items: 3, Color: White (3-pairs), Size: Medium
I’m gonna give you more detail than you need about why I’m buying these socks again. I’ve been the mom of girl athletes. I’ve been a model and a fashion director. I’ve worn every brand of shoe on the planet and never found a shoe that did NOT find a vulnerable spot on my foot to rub raw. Even my beloved white Jack Purcell sneakers. With that said - I don’t like socks. I’ve bought a TON of them in 35+ years.....all major brands. They shift. They lose their shape. They get holes in them and wear out too fast. Not these. I retired this year, and knowing I’d be in sneakers a lot, traveling, sightseeing ...... I bought these 6 months ago and have worn them constantly. I’ve traveled with them. I’ve washed them in hot water and bleach. The socks are like brand new. They are exactly the right cut so as not to be seen in a basic sneaker. The little silicone patch on the heel stays put. Not once have I had to dig down into my shoe and pull the sock back up. The socks have stayed soft and EXACTLY the same as the day they were new. Like I said - I am back to buy them again. Great quality!

Stay put!
Number of Items: 3, Color: White/Neutral (3-pairs), Size: Medium
Nice and thin, soft, and stay put. I wear an 8 shoe and don’t like a thick sock taking up room. These socks are a bit tight on big toe. Wish they came in large.
