Photographed individually · sold in small batches
The Ficus Yellow Gem, botanically known as Ficus altissima, stands out with its glossy, oval-shaped leaves marbled in shades of vibrant green and golden-yellow. Reaching up to 5 feet tall in a 10" grow pot, it makes a bold yet refined statement—brightening living rooms, workspaces, and entryways with its lively variegation and upright form.
Striking yet low-maintenance, this plant is ideal for those who want beauty, color, and structure with minimal effort.
How to Care for a Ficus Yellow Gem:
- Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light; low light may reduce variegation.
- Watering: Keep soil lightly moist; allow the top 3–4" to dry between waterings.
- Humidity: Adapts to average household humidity.
- Pets: Keep away from pets.
Each plant includes detailed care instructions to help it thrive in your space.

Styling & placement
Check the care chips above for this plant's light needs, then match the room: bright-light plants love south- or west-facing windows; low-light varieties soften dim corners, shelves, and offices. Statement plants read best with space around them — beside a sofa, framing a window, or anchoring an empty corner. Smaller plants work in odd-numbered groups at varying heights.
