Ficus sagittata ‘Variegata’
- Family: Moraceae
-
Species: Ficus sagittata
- Native species range: Tropical–subtropical Asia through the Caroline Islands.
- Habitat: Wet tropical forests; lowland to ~1,500 m elevation.
- Growth habit: Evergreen root-climbing liana; epiphytic/climbing when young and capable of tree-like mature growth.
- Roots: Produces short adventitious roots at the nodes for attachment.
- Variegation: Gray-green foliage irregularly marked or margined cream-white.
- Light: Bright filtered light is appropriate; variegated tissue has reduced photosynthetic capacity.
- Water: Prefers consistent moisture with good root aeration; prolonged saturation should be avoided.
- Humidity: Higher humidity encourages adventitious rooting and climbing growth.
- Growth support: Is a natural climber; rough, moist surfaces encourage root attachment.
- Propagation: Stem cuttings; vegetative propagation preserves the variegated cultivar
