The Ficus triangularis 'Variegata', commonly referred to as the Variegated Sweetheart Ficus or Triangular Ficus, is a distinctive and attractive houseplant. It's valued for its unusual triangular-shaped leaves, which are beautifully variegated with shades of green and creamy white. This plant is a delightful choice for indoor gardeners seeking a unique and eye-catching addition to their plant collection. Here’s a detailed description and care guide for Ficus triangularis 'Variegata':

Description

Ficus triangularis 'Variegata' features small, triangular-shaped leaves that are a bright, glossy green with variegated creamy white edges and patches. The variegation patterns can vary significantly between individual leaves, making each one unique. This plant grows as a small tree or shrub, developing a woody stem as it matures, and can be trained to maintain a compact, bushy form.

Care Guide

Light

This variegated ficus prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its variegation. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially in the morning or late afternoon, but prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight can scorch the leaves. A spot near an east-facing window where it can receive gentle morning light is ideal.

Water

Water the Ficus triangularis 'Variegata' when the top inch of soil becomes dry. Ensure the plant is watered thoroughly, allowing excess water to drain away. It’s important to avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering during the winter months when the plant’s growth naturally slows.

Soil

Use a well-draining potting mix typically suited for indoor trees. A mix containing peat, perlite, and pine bark is often recommended to provide adequate drainage and aeration for healthy root growth.

Temperature and Humidity

The ideal temperature range for this plant is between 18 to 24 degrees Celsius. It does not tolerate cold drafts or temperatures below 15 degrees Celsius. Average room humidity is sufficient, but if you notice the leaf tips becoming brown and dry, increasing the humidity around the plant might be necessary. You can do this by placing a humidifier nearby, grouping it with other plants, or using a pebble tray with water.

Fertiliser

Feed your Ficus triangularis 'Variegata' with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every month during the spring and summer growing season. Reduce fertilization to every other month during the autumn and refrain from feeding in the winter.

Pruning

Pruning can be done to encourage bushier growth or to maintain a desired shape. Trim back any overly long branches or unwanted growth during the spring. Also, remove any yellowing or dead leaves to keep the plant healthy and attractive.

Pests and Diseases

Keep an eye out for common pests such as spider mites, mealybugs, and scale insects. Regularly inspect the plant and clean the leaves with a damp cloth to prevent infestations. If pests are found, treat them with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Make sure the plant is not in overly damp conditions to avoid fungal infections.

Ficus triangularis 'Variegata' is a charming and relatively easy-to-care-for plant, making it suitable for a variety of indoor settings. With its unique foliage and modest care requirements, it can be a delightful addition to your home or office.
