Ficus binnendijkii ‘Alii’, also known as Ficus Alii or Narrow-Leaf Fig, is an elegant and easy-to-care-for houseplant belonging to the Moraceae family. Native to Southeast Asia, it is popular for its long, slender, deep green leaves and graceful, upright growth habit. Unlike the common Ficus benjamina, Ficus Alii is less prone to leaf drop and adapts well to indoor environments.

Leaves

The leaves of Ficus binnendijkii ‘Alii’ are long, narrow, and slightly curved, resembling a willow tree. They are deep green with a glossy surface, growing in an upward arching fashion. This ficus has a bushy, compact appearance and can be grown as a small tree, bush, or braided-trunk plant.

Growth Habit

This ficus is a slow-to-moderate grower, reaching heights of 1.5–3 meters (5–10 feet) indoors. It grows in an upright, tree-like form, with multiple thin stems supporting a lush canopy of leaves. If grown in ideal conditions, it can reach its full height in a few years, making it a statement plant for homes or offices.


Care Guide

Light Requirements

  • Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate medium light conditions.
  • Too much direct sun can scorch the leaves, while too little light may cause slower growth.
  • Best placed near an east- or west-facing window or a south-facing window with sheer curtains.
  • If grown in low-light conditions, supplement with a grow light to maintain healthy foliage.

Temperature & Humidity

  • Temperature: Prefers warm indoor temperatures between 18–27°C (65–80°F). Avoid exposure to cold drafts or temperatures below 10°C (50°F).
  • Humidity: Thrives in normal household humidity (40-60%), but appreciates occasional misting in dry environments. If the air is too dry, use a humidifier or pebble tray to increase moisture.

Watering

  • Water when the top 2-5 cm of soil feels dry.
  • Ensure the pot has good drainage, as overwatering can cause root rot.
  • Reduce watering in winter, as the plant’s growth slows.
  • Use room-temperature, filtered water to prevent leaf stress from chlorine or fluoride.

Soil & Potting Mix

A well-draining, aerated mix is essential for healthy root growth. A good mix includes:

  • High-quality potting soil (for nutrients)
  • Perlite or pumice (for aeration and drainage)
  • Coconut coir or peat moss (for moisture retention)
  • Activated charcoal (to prevent fungal growth)

Fertilisation

  • Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser (10-10-10 or 20-20-20) every 4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
  • Reduce feeding in autumn and winter.
  • For lush foliage, a nitrogen-rich fertiliser can be used occasionally.

Potting & Repotting

  • Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound.
  • Use a pot with drainage holes to prevent overwatering.
  • If the plant is too large to repot, replace the top layer of soil with fresh soil annually.

Pruning & Maintenance

  • Prune to shape the plant and encourage bushier growth.
  • Remove yellowing or damaged leaves to maintain a neat appearance.
  • Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and improve photosynthesis.

Propagation

Propagation is best done through stem cuttings:

  1. Cut a healthy stem with at least one node and a few leaves.
  2. Dip in rooting hormone (optional) for faster rooting.
  3. Place in water or soil, keeping it warm and humid until roots develop.
  4. Once roots are 5 cm or longer, transfer to a pot with well-draining soil.

Common Problems & Solutions

  • Yellowing Leaves – Overwatering is the most common cause. Allow soil to dry between waterings.
  • Leaf Drop – Normal when adjusting to a new environment, but sudden changes in light, temperature, or watering can cause excessive leaf loss.
  • Brown Leaf Tips – Usually due to low humidity or inconsistent watering. Increase moisture levels and check watering habits.
  • Slow Growth – Caused by low light or nutrient deficiency. Move to a brighter spot and fertilise as needed.
  • Pests (Spider Mites, Mealybugs, Scale, Aphids) – Clean leaves with neem oil or insecticidal soap to prevent infestations.

Great for smaller dogs
Size: Small
These two balls are perfect for the smaller mouthed dog that loves to play fetch. These balls are not only super durable (lots of teeth biting), but float in the baby pool we use for our miniature dachshunds. The value here is much better than you’d find anywhere else. The noise, if bitten hard enough, was “low” at best. Easy to spot/find if overthrown. Will definitely buy again once these are in bad repair; so far, so good-love these for my fur babies!

My dogs favorite balls
Size: Medium
These are great for my dog who always has to have a ball in her mouth. Not too hard so I don't have to worry about her teeth. They last for ever. They do lose their shape a little over time (like I said, she always has a ball in her mouth) they become a little oval in shape. They still bounce, she still chases it and she still chews on it so I don't think she notices or cares. I've gotten her a bag full of these over time and I have only seen one that she chewed a chunk out.

My Dachshunds Love These
Size: Small
These balls are durable, flexible material, highly chewable without being easily destroyed. I stuff them with Milkbone Maro Snacks, which are just the right size to twist into the holes in the ball. My dogs literally get an hour+ chewing and chasing entertainment from these. They chew them, they sometimes 'pop' out of their mouths, go rolling across the floor, dogs chasing them. This satisfies their urge to hunt prey. Dachshunds can easily tear this kind of stuff-it-toy apart. These have lasted for a long time without tearing or shredding. I would NOT recommend them for a dog much larger than a tweenie weenie. They're a bit on the small side and might be swallowed by a larger dog. It would be cool it they also came in a larger size (and probably ball wall thickness also) for the bigger dogs to enjoy. These stuff-it chew balls are better than the kong balls my dogs had before these. Highly recommend them.

My puppy’s favorite fetch toy!
Size: Small
Update Aug 27, 2024: After 10 months, these are still his favorite ball. He’s obsessed with fetching and plays with them all day. They do bounce really high. Unfortunately, the small size aren’t available for sale anywhere anymore. I tried the medium size, and he has a bit of trouble hanging on to them, but he manages. Weirdly, he prefers the orange one, but he also plays with the blue one. My 7 month old Shih Tzu puppy loves to fetch, and these are his new favorites. They’re small enough to fit in his mouth, and they are made of hard plastic, so he’s able to hold on to them. They have a lot of bounce, and this adds to the fun for him. I highly recommend them.

Genuinely bummed that these great balls can’t stand up against my Chloè.
Size: Medium
I love all the Chuckit brand of balls. I found that the Strabo and glow balls in the Chuckit line are the softest, and as such, don't last as long as the rest of Chuckit line of balls. Having said that, they do last longer than than every other brand I've tried (and I do believe I’ve tried every brand available on the market today.) The strato balls do bounce higher than any of the other balls in the Chuckit line. They really are a good value.
