Ficus umbellata is a somewhat unknown species of ficus that has started to gain popularity as a houseplant over the past couple of years. Like its relative the fiddle leaf fig, ficus umbellata grows large, waxy leaves on a thin trunk. Its leaves are heart-shaped and slightly thinner than a fiddle leaf fig’s leaves, with long, delicate petioles. The resulting look is delicate and somewhat ethereal—a fantastic addition to any houseplant collection. It enjoys a bright spot, regular watering, and warm temperatures and is not picky about fertilization or pruning. Like all plants in the ficus genus, it is considered toxic to pets and humans if consumed.
