Ficus Alii
Ficus Alii, scientifically known as Ficus maclellandii, also known as the Banana Leaf Fig, is a graceful indoor tree admired for its long, narrow, olive green leaves that gently arch, creating a soft, palm-like silhouette. Native to Southeast Asia and India, this elegant ornamental fig adds a lush, tropical feel to the interior while remaining remarkably low-maintenance compared to its finicky cousin, Ficus benjamina, which drops its leaves when it doesn't get what it wants. This makes it a less intimidating, but no less dramatic looking, indoor tree. With its sleek foliage and upright growth habit, Ficus Alii brings a modern, sculptural accent to homes and offices alike.
