Braided Ficus Alii Tree is a beautiful indoor tree known for its long, narrow green leaves and decorative braided trunk. Its upright shape and soft, tropical foliage make it a great statement plant for living rooms, offices, entryways, and bright indoor spaces.
The proper botanical name is commonly listed as Ficus maclellandii ‘Alii’ or Ficus binnendijkii ‘Alii’. It may also be sold as Ficus Alii, Alii Fig, or Long Leaf Fig.
Braided Ficus Alii Tree does best in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate medium light, but brighter filtered light helps support fuller growth and healthier leaves. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the foliage.
Water thoroughly when the top inch or two of soil feels dry and allow water to drain. Ficus Alii prefers lightly moist soil, but it does not like sitting in wet soil, so avoid watering too frequently.
Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot with drainage. A standard houseplant mix with added perlite, orchid bark, or coco coir works well.
Braided Ficus Alii Tree prefers warm temperatures and moderate humidity. Keep it away from cold drafts, heating vents, and air conditioning. Sudden changes in light, temperature, or watering routine may cause some leaf drop.
Rotate the plant occasionally to help it grow evenly. Prune as needed to maintain its shape and remove any yellowing or older leaves.
Ficus plants are toxic to pets if ingested. Keep them away from cats, dogs, and small children.
