Description
The Variegated Ficus is a graceful, upright indoor tree with dense, glossy green leaves edged in creamy white, creating a striking contrast that instantly brightens up corners, entrances, or balconies. With a natural height of approximately 3 to 3.5 feet, this plant offers volume and vertical structure while maintaining a soft, leafy appearance.
Known for its adaptability, this ficus thrives in Indian indoor conditions — as long as it receives steady bright light. Its slender trunk and bushy top make it ideal for styling in ceramic floor planters or placing beside seating, windows, or entryways.
This variety not only adds a polished look to modern homes but also improves indoor air quality. It’s a reliable choice for plant lovers who want a mature, low-fuss plant with a naturally ornamental vibe.

Perfect for my house! I am bad at taking care of plants
Good Plant, but the horizontal growth could have been better.
