Houseplant of the Week: banana leaf fig
Briefly

The banana leaf fig (Ficus alii) is an easygoing plant that brings a calming tropical vibe, thriving in varied lighting conditions and requiring little maintenance.
Known for its long, slightly wavy leaves that droop gracefully, the banana leaf fig is ideal for living rooms, hallways, or office spaces where it can thrive.
This plant prefers consistently moist soil and should be watered when the top inch feels dry, with reduced watering during the winter months.
Unlike other figs, the banana leaf fig is less prone to leaf drop and is favored for its hardy nature, making it a popular choice for indoor greenery.
