MOCLAME BRAID FICUS 12in

Step into the sophisticated world of indoor gardening with the Moclame Braid Ficus, Ficus microcarpa 'Moclame'. This elegant houseplant is instantly recognizable by its unique, often artfully braided trunk, topped with a dense canopy of small, glossy, oval-shaped green leaves. It typically grows as a small tree indoors, reaching heights of 3 to 6 feet, making it a perfect statement piece for a bright corner or a stately addition to a living room.

The Moclame Braid Ficus thrives in bright, indirect light. Think of a spot near a south or west-facing window where it can receive plenty of ambient light without direct, scorching sun on its leaves. While it can tolerate lower light levels, its growth may slow, and its foliage might not be as vibrant. Consistency is key with this Ficus, as sudden changes in light or temperature can cause it to drop leaves.

It is important to know that the sap of the Ficus 'Moclame' can be an irritant and is considered mildly toxic if ingested. Keep it out of reach of curious pets and small children. If you need to prune it, wearing gloves is a good idea to avoid skin irritation from the milky sap.

When your Moclame Braid Ficus needs a new home, choose Watters Potting Soil. This high-quality, well-draining soil is specifically blended for our local Prescott conditions and will provide the ideal environment for its roots. Ensure the new pot has ample drainage holes. To encourage robust growth and maintain its lush appearance, feed your Ficus every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with Urban Gardener's Super Growth Elixir or Fertilome's All Purpose Houseplant Food.
