Microcarpa
This pic was borrowed from yellowcabbit

Another Ficus, but slightly different.

The Ficus Microcarpa has round, green, fleshy and shiny leaves. It can be found in varying forms from shrub like to highly controlled and pruned to an exact shape. This plant is native to the isand of Okinawa and like most of the plants so far enjoys sunlight.

The root structure grows vigorously so you should plan on replanting at least once every second year.

A beautiful, interesting plant, the Ficus Microcarpa fits well into modern interiors where colour and texture are needed.

    I love ficus. Mostly because unlike almost every other plant, I manage to not kill it:-)
