About this Variegated Ficus Triangularis Bonsai, 10 Years Old (Ficus triangularis 'Variegata')
Ficus triangularis 'Variegata' is grown above all for foliage: each leaf is distinctly triangular in outline, green through the centre and bordered by a broad creamy white margin, so the canopy stays patterned and bright at any season. This plant is 10 years old and 13 to 14 inches in height, and it is suited to indoor growing all year. Variegated figs hold their contrast better where light is good. Like other ficus it prefers a settled position, since abrupt shifts in light or temperature can cost it a few leaves.
Ficus bonsai care
This is a living Ficus (Ficus microcarpa). Before you buy, this is what it will ask of you:
- Indoor / outdoor
- Indoor tree wherever it frosts; it can summer outdoors while temperatures stay above 60°F (15°C)
- Light
- As much as possible, preferably full sun; low light brings larger leaves and leaf drop
- Water
- Water thoroughly once the surface is slightly dry; overwatering causes root rot
- USDA zones
- 9 to 11 outdoors all year; indoors anywhere colder
- Main risks
- Main risks, not ranked by any source: root rot from overwatering; indoors, too little light
Soil, repotting, pruning, seasonal work and the full pest and disease list are in our free Ficus bonsai care guide.
