Ficus Petiolaris
Description
- Ficus Petiolaris aka The Rock Fig gets its name from growing roots over rocky areas in search of soil.
- This plant is a perfect bonsai specimen and can easily produce a swollen trunk.
- Newly emerged leaves are bright green with pink veins. As the leaf ages the colours intensify.
- In the ground Ficus Petiolaris can grow to a tree. In pots, they rarely reach over 2m.

- The potting mix should be kept moist but not soggy.
- For a nice, large plant, re-pot into a bigger pot every year and feed with a slow-release fertilizer throughout the growing season.
