Ficus altissima makes a terrific statement houseplant inside or on a patio reaching 6 feet tall as a container plant. Known as Asian council tree or lofty fig this ficus boasts large glossy leaves with a beautiful pattern of lemon and lime green hues. This indoor plant is relatively low-maintenance thriving in bright indirect light and even lower light. It prefers well-draining soil and should be watered when the top two inches of soil feel dry to the touch.
