Ficus rubiginosa

With origins in Thailand in elevations from sea level to 1,600 feet, this plant was brought to Hawaii and named ‘Alii’ which means “Chief”. It is more closely related to Ficus benjamina than the other 40 or so Ficus species that are commonly grown for house plants. However, it grows about 25% slower and displays foliage that is quite different than Ficus benjamina. Its relatively thick leaves are long and narrow, growing from 3 inches to 10 inches long. New growth is sometimes tinted bronze and later matures to a deep, rich green. This plant is more durable and easier to grow than the typical Ficus benjamina. It lacks the finickiness and tendency to shed leaves. It tolerates lower light conditions and more erratic watering far better than the benjaminas.
