Why choose the Taiwan Ficus H.90 cm:

The dense canopy of small, shiny dark green leaves completes a silhouette of extraordinary tropical elegance.
Air purification:
Ficus microcarpa is an effective natural air purifier. It removes harmful substances such as formaldehyde and other volatile organic compounds from enclosed environments, helping to improve the quality of the air we breathe every day. A 90 cm specimen offers a significant leaf surface for effective purification.
Care and positioning:
Position: Bright indirect light, preferably near a bright window. The Taiwan Ficus loves light but not direct sun. It is important to find the right position and maintain it: this plant is sensitive to movement and can lose leaves if moved frequently.
Watering: Moderate and regular. Allow the top 2-3 cm of the substrate to dry out between waterings. Reduce frequency in winter. Avoid both waterlogging and prolonged drought. Mist the leaves occasionally to maintain optimal humidity.
Temperature: Ideal between 18°C and 28°C. Avoid temperatures below 12°C, cold drafts, and sudden temperature changes that can cause leaves to fall.
Curiosity:
Ficus microcarpa is native to tropical Asia, from southern China to Taiwan, and even Australia. In nature, it can reach 25 meters in height, developing aerial roots that descend from the branches to the ground, forming real natural pillars. It is one of the most used species in the art of bonsai worldwide, appreciated for its extraordinary ability to develop spectacular aerial roots and for its resistance. In many Asian cultures, it is considered a symbol of longevity and prosperity.
Important note: Each plant is a unique living being. The shape of the aerial roots, trunk, and canopy varies from specimen to specimen, making each Taiwan Ficus unrepeatable. Images are illustrative and not binding.
Bring home the sculptural beauty of the Taiwan Ficus H.90 cm: a natural masterpiece with unique aerial roots, a lush canopy, and timeless tropical charm that enriches any environment with its extraordinary presence.
