The efficacy and function of Qinye Ficus

The ornamental value of Ficus microcarpa

The fiddle-leaf fig got its name because its leaves are shaped like a cello. Generally, the fiddle-leaf fig can grow to about 12 meters, with an upright stem and very few branches. The leaves are broad, dense, dark green and shiny. It gives people a solemn and generous sense of beauty. Since Ficus microcarpa is an introduced tropical crop, it also has a tropical flavor. It is particularly suitable for pastoral and modern decoration styles, and has been very popular in the domestic home decoration field in recent years.

The fiddle-leaf fig itself is very shade-tolerant and is very suitable as a decorative potted plant in dimly lit places such as homes and hotels. Ficus microcarpa can be widely cultivated as a garden tree, street tree and potted tree.
