There is a certain kind of room that looks designed not because of what was bought but because of what was placed — and a large indoor tree is almost always the thing doing the work. The Ficus Altissima arrives over five feet tall, with variegated leaves that move between green and yellow depending on the light. It does not read tropical. It reads considered, which is the harder thing to pull off.
We keep putting it in the corner nearest the window — not pushed against the wall, slightly forward into the room — and it changes the scale of everything around it. Next to a low platform bed, beside a reading chair, against white plaster near a glass door. In every configuration it earns its place without asking for attention. That is what a good tree does.
It needs bright indirect light and does not want to be moved once it has settled. Water when half the soil is dry, keep it away from drafts, and let it grow. It can reach six to eight feet indoors, which means the investment only improves over time.

Plant Height: Over 5 feet tall at time of delivery
Indoor Growth Potential: 6–8 feet
