Ficus punctata

Ficus punctata is a unique climbing plant, ideal for arranging humid tropical terrariums. This attractive species not only decorates the interior of your setup but also helps recreate natural conditions for reptiles and amphibians. Its lush, green, sickle-shaped leaves give the terrarium an exotic character, and its relatively fast growth allows for easy shaping and adaptation to various layouts.

Natural beauty and functionality

Ficus punctata originates from tropical regions of Asia, where it climbs trees and rocks in humid rainforests. In terrarium conditions, it performs excellently as a vertical element – it can be trained along walls or decorations, creating dense shelters for animals. This plant prefers high humidity and diffused light, making it a perfect choice for environments equipped with a misting system. Its presence improves the microclimate by increasing humidity and absorbing excess carbon dioxide.

Easy care and resilience

The plant is relatively easy to grow – it requires only regular watering and pruning to maintain the desired shape. Due to its resilience, it adapts well to terrarium conditions and can be planted in substrate or special wall-mounted baskets.
IMPORTANT: Avoid letting the substrate dry out completely, as it may lead to leaf dehydration.

Ficus punctata – cultivation requirements:

• Fertile, well-draining substrate
• Regular misting and high air humidity
• Preferred temperature: 20–28°C
• Gently diffused light
