Ficus tinctoria parasitica

Ficus tinctoria parasitica
Stock Number: 41390
Availability: Out Of Stock
Family: Moraceae
Cultural Code: HP TGH what's this?
Price: $20.00

Leathery, blunted trapizoidal to oblong diamond leaves; attractive habit with arched stems bearing many "mistletoe" fruits most likely to form only if the tree is given high levels of humidity. Not an actual parasite, but definitely loves to be an epiphyte. Performs well in a small container; performs too well with free root run! Certainly one of the most beautiful of the tree figs with elegantly cascading branches closely cloaked with papery rhomboid foliage. Must have constant high humidity. Sometimes in short supply.

Cultural Codes

Some of you grow only indoors, some only in terrariums; many of you have hobby greenhouses; while a growing number of customers live in subtropical or tropical areas of the world. These brief codes are an attempt to suggest whether or not a particular plant will do well in your particular conditions.

If an entry has the cluster HP CGH, this means normal house plant culture will be successful if the plant is given a cool CGH moist location; however if the entry has the cluster CGH HP, you would interpret this to suggest that while Cool Greenhouse conditions are needed for total success with this plant, House Plant conditions will be adequate, while not ideal. If the cluster is HH CGH you would interpret this to mean that while in Zone 8 or below this will be winter hardy outdoor, further north it will need considerable mulch, a cold frame, or a Cool Greenhouse to thrive. And so on.
