The Ficus altissima is a majestic houseplant, prized for its large, glossy leaves variegated with bright green and yellow . Its elegant shape and upright growth make it ideal for structuring a space and adding a modern tropical touch. More flexible and tolerant than the Ficus lyrata, it adapts well to indoor life while still providing a strong visual impact.
