Ficus microcarpa 'Moclame' (Braided Chinese Banyan Tree)

Ficus microcarpa 'Moclame'

Although frequently mistaken for its sister, the Ficus benjamina, the Moclame's thick rounded leaves make it uniquely identifiable. Its small branches are most conducive to hedge pruning, and with patience its outward appearance can be highly controlled.

Ficus Basic Care: Easy/Medium

• Light: Direct Sunlight – This plant loves direct sunlight so place it by an window that gets direct, natural light for a least a portion of the day.
• Water: Thirsty – This plant can only go 1 to 2 weeks without water so check weekly and water when the top two inches of soil dry out.
• Tips: Like many houseplants, ficus would rather be too dry than too wet so if you are unsure about whether it needs water, wait a day or two and check again.
