~160cm
Umbrella Fig lifts broad, heart-shaped leaves into an airy, sculptural canopy for a lounge, entrance or reception. Its soft outline reads beautifully against warm white walls, timber and pale stone.
Keep it warm in bright, indirect light, clear of harsh sun and air-conditioning draughts. Water thoroughly once the compost surface begins to dry, then let it drain fully. Wear gloves when pruning — the milky sap can irritate skin.
Description
Umbrella Fig — Product Guide
Broad heart-shaped leaves and pronounced veins gather along relaxed, naturally branching stems, giving the canopy a soft yet substantial presence. The silhouette is clean enough to stand beautifully on its own.
| Plant name | Ficus umbellata |
| Reference height | approx. 160cm / 240cm overall |
| Light | Bright indirect light |
| Water | Water as the surface begins to dry |
At home in a lounge, entrance, dining area or reception. Pale finishes keep the canopy feeling light; walnut and charcoal stone lend a calmer, more grounded setting. Leave space for the crown to open and for easy leaf cleaning.
Keep it warm in bright, filtered light, away from harsh midday sun, air-conditioning and repeated moves. Water thoroughly once the compost surface has dried slightly, let the excess drain, then empty the saucer or outer planter. Ease off as drying slows in wet or cool weather.
The large, heart-shaped leaves make an instant focal point — one specimen alone can hold a reception area or meeting room without needing company. It prefers a fixed spot and dislikes being shuffled around, so it suits a corner where the furniture layout doesn’t change often.
Suits a living room with generous ceiling height or a stairwell corner, where the broad leaves bring a lush, settled presence to the space. Once it’s in position, leave it there — giving it time to adjust is what keeps it looking its best.
Available in approximate overall heights of 160cm and 240cm, including the nursery pot. Spread, branching and leaf count vary naturally from plant to plant, so choose the size that best suits your room.
Milky Ficus sap can irritate skin, so keep children and pets from chewing the plant. Wear gloves when pruning and keep the sap well away from eyes and mouth.
Umbrella Fig — Your Questions, Answered
Bright indirect light is ideal. Avoid prolonged harsh sun and acclimatise the plant gradually when moving it into a brighter position.
Water thoroughly as the compost surface begins to dry. Let the nursery pot drain and empty the saucer or outer planter rather than watering to a fixed calendar.
A sudden move, cold draught, low light, prolonged wetness or severe dryness can all cause stress. Check recent changes and the compost before adjusting one factor at a time.
