Guide

The species-level account. Cultivar pages build on this and say where they differ.

Ficus triangularis is a woody fig in the Moraceae family, grown as a small shrub or tree with leathery, drought-tolerant foliage. Give it a bright spot with plenty of indirect light, and let the top inch or two of mix dry before watering again, since this genus resents sitting wet and drops leaves when overwatered. Like many figs it carries a milky latex that can irritate skin and may be a hazard if chewed.
