Council Tree, Lofty Fig

Ficus altissima 'Variegata'

Council Tree is a non-fussy tropical evergreen shrub used as a houseplant that maintains its tree-like habit even when potted.  The glossy deeply veined foliage is rich green has lime green to yellow variegated edging.  A great low-water option that grows best with bright indirect sun and sharply-draining soils.  Reaches up to 6ft when grown indoors, but can easily be pruned for size.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Low Maintenance.  Wipe the leaves down with horticultural / neem oil solution and dish soap to simultaneously clean the leaves and to deter pests.  Let soil dry out between watering.  Grows best with high humidity.  Fertilize 1-2 times  a month during the growing season.
