Exposure & Location

The Ficus Microcarpa Moclame prefers bright indirect light. It tolerates various lighting conditions well, making it a versatile plant to create your urban jungle.

• Exposure: bright indirect light to partial shade.
• Ideal: spacious living room, bright entrance, office, or room corner near a window.
• Temperature: 18 to 25 °C, without sudden changes.
• Substrate: rich, light, and well-drained (green plant potting soil + perlite).

Verdeia tip: give it enough space so its dense foliage can spread harmoniously in your urban jungle.

Watering & Care

• Watering: moderate; let the surface of the substrate dry slightly between waterings.
• Drainage: essential to avoid root rot — use a pot with drainage holes.
• Humidity: appreciates a slightly humid atmosphere; occasionally mist the foliage.
• Fertilizer: every 3 weeks in spring and summer, with diluted liquid fertilizer.
• Winter rest: reduce watering in autumn and winter.

Regularly clean the small shiny leaves with a damp cloth to preserve their shine — a soothing ritual that strengthens your connection with your urban jungle.

Decor Ideas & Plant Combinations

With its imposing stature and dense shiny foliage, the Ficus Microcarpa Moclame instantly becomes the centerpiece of your urban jungle. It structures the space with elegance and lightness.

• To pair with: Monstera (cut foliage), Alocasia (graphic leaves), Philodendron (shiny leaves), or small plants at the base to create a layered and varied urban jungle.
• Ideal pot: large decorative pot in matte ceramic, terracotta, or XXL natural fiber basket.
• Urban jungle atmosphere: perfect to structure a living room, dress an entrance, or create a calming jungle corner in an office.

Place it in a room corner or near a sofa to create a spectacular and airy plant focal point in your urban jungle.

Verdeia Tips

• Avoid frequent moves: the Ficus can lose leaves when stressed.
• Maintain a stable temperature without cold drafts.
• Repot every 2 to 3 years in spring into a slightly larger pot.
• If some leaves fall when changing location, it’s normal — the plant is adapting.
• Rotate the pot regularly for balanced growth towards the light.
