Description:
Also known as the “Broadleaf Rock Fig”. When young, it is a bushy shrub, which over time becomes a tree up to 10-15 meters high. It is a plant, which is highly appreciated by green collectors for the particular shape of its trunk, and its versatility as a bonsai. In its natural habitat, it grows on steep rocky slopes, as its roots can reach a depth of about sixty meters to find water sources. Its leaves are very large and thin, of a lanceolate shape, which form a rounded, diffuse but rather sparse crown.

Plant care:
It requires a lot of light throughout the year, however, avoid direct sunlight especially during the hottest hours of the day.
It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 12 °C, for this reason it is recommended to shelter it during the winter period.
Water regularly but moderately during the growing season (when the new leaves are born), always making sure that the soil is always dry between one watering and the next one. During the dormant period (when the leaves begin to turn yellow and fall) suspend watering.
The best soil is a well-draining and porous one, even better if further enriched with 50% or more of inert materials such as pumice, lapilli or clay.
They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
