Plant Description: The Ali’i Ficus
The Ali’i Ficus, scientifically known as Ficus maclellandi, is a perfect plant for those of us who want low maintenance plants.
Banana leaf fig is an evergreen tree in the Moraceae (fig) family native to India, Southeast Asia and China. It is commonly grown as a houseplant in temperate climates. The most popular one found for sale is the cultivar 'Alii' which is sometimes sold with a braided trunk. In their native habitat, they grow quite large and produce small figs. As a house plant, they may reach 6- 10 feet tall. They can be pruned to control size if needed.
These plants do best with bright indirect lighting. Plant in a potting mixture with good drainage and water the plant once the top 1-2 inches of the soil has dried out as they don't like soggy soils. They only need to be fertilized twice yearly.
Standing around 56” high. They are great impactful and sculptural specimens.
