Variegated Council Tree
Product Details
Ficus altissima 'Variegata', often called the Variegated Council Tree or Lofty Fig, is a bold, statement-making houseplant with a vibrant tropical feel. Its large, glossy leaves are beautifully marbled with shades of lemon, lime, and deep green, creating a bright, high-contrast display that instantly livens up indoor spaces. Thriving in bright, indirect light, this ficus is well-suited for living rooms, home offices, and sunlit corners where its striking foliage can take center stage. With relatively easy care and a naturally vigorous growth habit under the right conditions, Ficus altissima 'Variegata' is an excellent choice for adding height, color, and a touch of the tropics to your home.
Our plants are propagated via tissue culture, a clonal process that results in true to type, disease-free plants that are grown on their own roots. They have been grown in ellepots to promote healthy root development.
