The Ficus Umbellata has striking heart-shaped leaves on a robust central stem. Very fast-growing, it can be pruned to encourage bushier growth and the lower leaves trimmed off to create an umbrella shape.
This plant thrives in bright light indoors or outdoors under a patio. Let it dry out completely between waterings (look for the leaves pointing downwards) then give it a good soaking each time. To promote growth, fertilise regularly over the spring and summer months.
