Origin: Native to the mystical regions of Southeast Asia, the Ficus Altissima Yellow Gem is celebrated for its striking, golden-green leaves. This evergreen perennial tree is a close relative of the rubber plant, known for its resilience and stunning appearance.

Light: This magical plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Place it near a window where it can receive plenty of natural light, but avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves. A few hours of morning sunlight can enhance its vibrant colors.

Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. During the winter months, reduce watering to prevent overwatering.

Soil: Plant your Ficus Altissima Yellow Gem in well-draining soil rich in organic matter. A mix of potting soil, perlite, and sand works wonders for this beauty.
