Ficus Alii Care & Info (Ficus maclellandii)

[@toriholliday]

just bought a 3ft one in a 10in grow pot for $7.50 from my local grocery store- steal!! this has been a wishlist plant for me :)

I got one of these as my first plant in the late 90's! Since I was a kid, I probably didn't care for it properly. Still survived, but one of the 3 stems died. When I went to re-pot it about a decade later (oops) it had developed some *huge* roots under the surface of the soil, which shocked me! I brought it up a little higher to display them and now the roots are the major attraction for my plant :D

Love your information and the pictures behind you. Praying for you to feel better. Show the Plant again when it’s bigger.😊

A local public building has huge beautiful specimens of these.

Thanks, justin. Good info. I am going to look into this one. I have a ficus elastica which has done very well for many years so think I can handle this one too.

Why do you cut the roots back? Never mind- you just explained. Never knew it would stimulate root growth.

What is your soil mix you use with ficus? And great video ❤

Good information I need help! I have a ficus tree that I purchased and it’s about 5ft tall. I have questions?
