With large leaves the size of dinner plate, Ficus dammaropsis is one of the best foliage plants available.Evergreen and reaching up to 10m in height, the large textured foliage makes some of the smaller ficus species that are popular as indoor plants pale in comparison.Foliage is a good deep green with new foliage emerging with a bronze tinge to it. This is a species that will grow well in the garden at least as far south as Melbourne.It is rare in cultivation as it is a little difficult to propagate from cuttings. However it is available and we think it would make an excellent indoor plant with proper care.
Although Ficus dammaropsis is said to grow well in full sun, it may suffer a little leaf burn on very hot days.
