Ficus radicans Variegata

What is Included:

Plant Type: Ficus radicans 'Variegata'
Form: Fresh plant cutting (exact type shown in the photo)

Rarity:

Ficus radicans 'Variegata' is a rare and visually striking variety of climbing fig, known for its beautiful cream and green variegated foliage. Much harder to find than its non-variegated form, this cultivar is a favorite among collectors, especially those designing terrariums or tropical setups with bold contrast.

Plant Care Instructions:

• Ease of Care: Moderate; easy to grow once rooted but benefits from consistent humidity

• Light Needs: Bright, indirect light is best to maintain variegation—too little light can fade the pattern

• Humidity Needs: Likes moderate to high humidity; ideal for terrariums, greenhouses, or humid rooms

• Packaging: Cuttings are wrapped in moist Sphagnum Moss and sealed to stay fresh and hydrated during shipping

• How to Plant: Place against a moist vertical surface (like cork bark) or into a light, airy potting mix. Keep warm and humid while it roots

How It’s Propagated:

Cuttings are taken from healthy vines and started in high-humidity conditions. This helps preserve the variegation and encourages root development along the nodes. Best rooted against moss-covered surfaces or in sphagnum.
