The Ficus Carica is a fig tree grown on a single stem, with large, hand-shaped leaves that are deeply lobed and a rich, dark green in colour. The leaves have a sturdy texture, giving the tree a full and distinctive appearance. In the right conditions, the plant can produce small flowers and edible figs during summer.
The fig tree does best in a warm, sunny position, making it well suited to terraces, outdoor entrance areas, courtyard projects and any setting with generous natural light. It can be planted in a container or directly in the ground, which gives flexibility when working on different types of project.
Regular watering is needed, particularly during warmer months. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot. The plant is shipped in a sturdy box designed specifically for plants: the plant and growing medium are protected by a cover and the plant is secured inside the box to arrive in good condition.
Can this fig tree be used outdoors, or indoors as well? The Ficus Carica is primarily suited to outdoor use in a warm, sunny position. It can also be placed indoors provided there is ample natural light available. A dark interior would not provide the conditions the plant needs.
How much maintenance does this tree require in a project setting? The fig tree needs regular watering, particularly during warmer months. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings to avoid root rot. No additional specialist maintenance is indicated, which makes it practical for project-based placements.
Can I order multiple units for a series or larger project? Yes, ordering individual units or larger quantities is both possible. For projects requiring several specimens, the order is dispatched as a single shipment, keeping the delivery straightforward to manage on site.
Does the tree need to go in the ground, or can it stay in a container? Both options work. The Ficus Carica can be planted in a container or directly in the ground. This makes it adaptable for a range of project situations, from paved terraces to planted garden areas.
How is the plant packed and what is the lead time? The lead time is five working days. The plant is shipped in a sturdy box designed specifically for plants. Both the plant and the growing medium are protected by a cover, and the plant is secured inside the box to ensure it arrives undamaged.
