The Ficus Umbellata is one of the most instagrammable and whimsical house plant. Similar to fiddle-leaf fig, this newcomer has bold oversized leaves on skinny stems, but this plant differs in that it has more pronounced glossy heart-shaped leaves and sports a more vibrant green color.
A location close to a window is best, and more growth will be evident when the plant is given more light. This plant can handle some gentle direct light, but make sure to acclimatise them before giving them more than a couple of hours of direct morning light to avoid any browning.
