Ficus Umbellata – The Soft-Leafed Statement Fig

Ficus Umbellata is gaining popularity among indoor plant lovers for its large, heart-shaped leaves and elegant, airy structure. With a softer appearance than its cousin the Fiddle-Leaf Fig, this plant brings a lighter, more whimsical aesthetic to any space.

Why Choose Ficus Umbellata?

• Broad, heart-shaped leaves: Smooth, light green foliage with a gently undulating texture.
• Airy, upright growth: Offers a sculptural yet delicate silhouette that works well in minimalist interiors.
• Fast-growing & adaptable: With the right conditions, it can grow quickly and become an impressive indoor tree.

Care Requirements

• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Some gentle morning sun is fine, but avoid harsh afternoon rays.
• Soil: Prefers a free-draining potting mix to prevent soggy roots.
• Watering: Let the top 2–4 cm of soil dry out between waterings. Sensitive to overwatering.
• Humidity: Appreciates moderate humidity and good airflow. Extremely dry air may cause leaf browning.
• Temperature: Not tolerant of cold. Keep in a warm, stable indoor environment away from drafts or cold windows.

A More Sensitive Choice

Ficus Umbellata can be a little more temperamental than other indoor figs. It prefers consistency in light, temperature, and watering. With proper care, though, it rewards growers with stunning foliage and graceful form.

Shipping

We only ship plants on Mondays. Please order before 2pm on Sunday to ensure your plant will be sent the following Monday. Orders placed after this time MIGHT not be shipped untill the following week.

We only ship plants to non-quarantine states (sorry sorry WA, TAS and NT residents). Shipping of plants is capped at $18.00 per order. This includes the packing materials and labour times. We use recycled packing where possible to reduce our waste and keep cost down, but we ensure that all packing material is sturdy enough to resist damage during transit.

If no one is home to receive your order, the parcel will be left in a safe place. We will not request signature on delivery, as parcels sent back to the post office may not get picked up for days, therefore increasing the amount of stress placed on the plant(s) inside.

This plant can also be picked up from the Northern Wellbeing Centre; 113C miller st, Epping VIC. If you select this option at check-out, we will email you to organise a pick-up time.
