The Ficus family has exploded in popularity, thanks in part to the rise in demand for the Fiddle Leaf Fig that became an instant sensation with designers and Instagram alike. However, many found out the hard way that these trees need specific growth conditions to truly thrive. With care, these small indoor trees can look healthy and beautiful. You can train them into a more pruned tree-like shape or enjoy them as wilder plants full of variegated leaves. Beyond the Fiddle Leaf Fig, other members of the Ficus family are equally beautiful and should be just as celebrated.

Whichever Ficus you choose, you’ll be happy with a gorgeous tree that softens your space while bringing a piece of nature indoors.
