Variegated Triangle Fig

Variegated Triangle Fig (Ficus triangularis variegata)

Variegated Triangle Fig is a slow-growing indoor tree prized for thick, triangular leaves edged in creamy white; its naturally neat, branching habit provides crisp, modern structure in bright, indirect light.

Distinctive Features

Succulent-like, tri-angled leaves with bold cream margins create a clean, geometric look; compact internodes yield a tidy silhouette that stays attractive with minimal shaping.

Growing Conditions

• Sun Exposure: Bright, indirect light with gentle morning sun; avoid harsh midday rays that can scorch variegation.
• Soil: Well-drained potting mix amended with bark and perlite for airflow.
• Water: Water thoroughly, then allow the top 1 to 2 in to dry before watering again.
• USDA Hardiness Zones: 10 to 12 outdoors; grow indoors in cooler regions.
• Humidity: Moderate; higher humidity improves leaf quality.
• Mature Size: Typically 2 to 5 ft indoors with pruning control.
• Soil pH: Slightly acidic to neutral, about 6.0 to 7.5.

Ideal Uses

• Focal Point: Cream-edged leaves make a luminous statement in living rooms and entries.
• Modern Containers: Tall, narrow planters emphasize the vertical line.
• Small-Space Specimen: Compact branching suits shelves and corners.
• Design Contrast: Bright variegation pairs well with deep-green companions.

Low Maintenance Care

• Watering: Follow a soak-and-dry rhythm; reduce frequency in winter.
• Pruning: Tip-prune to maintain height and encourage fullness; remove crowded shoots.
• Fertilizing: Feed at half strength monthly in spring and summer.
• Mulching: Top-dress with fine bark to buffer roots and retain moisture.
• Notes: Sensitive to overwatering and sudden moves that may cause leaf drop; latex sap can irritate skin and is mildly toxic if ingested.
