With its triangular variegated leaves the Variegated Triangle Fig, Ficus triangularis Variegata, is the perfect showy houseplant for those looking to step up their houseplant display, but not their houseplant care. This easy-going houseplant slowly grows into a small tree but can be enjoyed on a table or desk for years until it sizes up. Or it can be trimmed to maintain a cute small shrubby habit.

Plant in well-draining, good potting soil. Plants prefer bright, indirect light, with no direct sun. Fertilize plants when they are actively growing, usually April through August, following the fertilizer manufacturer’s directions. Water consistently, keeping plants evenly moist, don’t let them dry out for too long. If the plant starts to lose leaves it’s probably not getting enough water. Plants will require less water during the fall and winter months.
