The Fiddle Leaf Fig gets all the press. The Ficus Altissima quietly outperforms it.

Same bold, tree-like presence. Broader, glossier leaves with that sought-after variegated lime and green pattern. Thicker trunk. And considerably less drama about its living situation. This Ficus Altissima tree is already the size most people are working toward - a wide, branching canopy on a substantial trunk that fills a room the way a piece of furniture can't.

Native to tropical forests across Southeast Asia, this fig can reach 100 feet in the wild. Indoors, a large container and your ceiling keep things more manageable - typically around 6 feet, which is exactly where this specimen already is. She's a commitment, and she's worth it.

She is not pet-friendly, so placement away from curious animals is worth thinking through before she arrives.

One plant. One home.

There's one of her. Book a live video call to meet her before someone else does - you say hello, she ships exactly as you saw her.

How much light does a Ficus Altissima need?

Ficus Altissima thrives in bright indirect light and benefits from a few hours of gentle direct sun - early morning or late afternoon - to maintain dense growth and strong variegation. Harsh midday sun through glass can scorch her leaves, so a position right beside your brightest window, rather than directly in it, works best. For a large specimen, rotating the pot periodically helps the canopy fill out evenly rather than leaning toward the light source.

How often should you water a Ficus Altissima?

Ficus Altissima should be watered when the top layer of soil has dried out, then watered slowly and thoroughly until water drains from the base. For a large specimen in a deep pot, this typically means watering every one to two weeks, more frequently in bright warm conditions and less in lower light or winter. Chronic overwatering is the main cause of root rot and yellowing leaves in this Ficus tree, so when in doubt, wait another day or two before watering.

What fertilizer does a Ficus Altissima need?

Ficus Altissima benefits from a balanced liquid fertilizer applied every four weeks during spring and summer. Large, actively growing specimens appreciate consistent feeding to maintain vigorous growth and foliage color, but over-fertilizing causes salt buildup and leaf tip damage, so sticking to the recommended dilution matters. Feeding should stop in autumn and winter when growth naturally slows.

What temperature does a Ficus Altissima like?

Ficus Altissima is most comfortable between 65-75°F (18-24°C) and prefers a stable, consistently warm room. Cold drafts, sudden temperature changes, and relocation can all trigger leaf drop in this fig - a well-known Ficus trait. She should never be exposed to near-freezing temperatures and is best kept away from exterior doors and air conditioning vents.

Does a Ficus Altissima like humidity?

Ficus Altissima prefers moderate to high humidity, ideally around 50% or above, for best foliage quality. For a large specimen, a room humidifier or grouping with other plants is more effective than misting alone. Low humidity shows up as brown, crispy leaf edges over time.

How big does a Ficus Altissima get indoors?

Indoors, Ficus Altissima is typically maintained at around 6 feet tall, with a broad, branching canopy that can spread several feet wide in good conditions. Container size and ceiling height are the practical limits - in her native Southeast Asian forests, this fig species reaches close to 100 feet tall. This particular specimen is already at that impressive indoor height, with the canopy to match.

How fast does a Ficus Altissima grow?

Ficus Altissima is a moderately fast grower under good light, warmth, and humidity - faster than many comparable indoor trees. Indoors, reaching 6 feet takes several years of consistent care, which is what makes a mature specimen worth having now. Growth slows noticeably in lower light or when the plant is pot-bound and underfed.

Is a Ficus Altissima pet-friendly?

Ficus Altissima is not pet-friendly. As a fig species, it contains irritating compounds in its sap and foliage - including ficin and psoralen - that are toxic to both cats and dogs. The ASPCA lists Ficus species as toxic to pets, with symptoms including drooling, vomiting, diarrhea, and skin irritation. She's best placed in a room or position that pets cannot access.

Is a Ficus Altissima toxic to cats?

Ficus Altissima is toxic to cats. The sap and foliage of fig trees can cause oral and gastrointestinal irritation, with symptoms including drooling, vomiting, and diarrhea. Any cat that chews the foliage should be monitored closely and a vet contacted if symptoms appear.

Is a Ficus Altissima toxic to dogs?

Ficus Altissima is toxic to dogs. Contact with or ingestion of the sap and foliage can cause gastrointestinal irritation and dermal irritation, with symptoms including vomiting, drooling, and lethargy. Dogs prone to chewing houseplants should be kept well away from her, and a vet should be contacted if ingestion occurs.

Great scent, hydrating, not greasy or sticky.
Scent: Mellow Coconut, Size: 13.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This Karl&Hans Moisturizing Body Lotion is a good value at approx $23 on Amazon right now. This is a large 390 ml bottle of lotion. Thankfully it comes with a pump that worked well and made it convenient to use. I especially used it a lot after washing my hands. It's a lightweight lotion with a delicious coconut, musky scent. I was immediately interested in this because of the PDRN and ceramide complex. My skin is always dry and needs support, and this lotion left it soft, soothed, and hydrated. This absorbed quickly, and I didn't notice any lingering issues of feeling greasy or sticky.

Buy it for the scent, keep using it for the benefits...
Scent: Mellow Coconut, Size: 13.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Mellow Coconut, Size: 13.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
During the pandemic, I became a bit of a skincare fanatic. I didn't have much to do otherwise, and so I began collecting various creams, lotions, serums, and other products that claimed they would help regain what I had lost or would help prevent what was coming. I stuck with a few things after I got back to work but honestly did not have the time to sit down and apply this to that and that to his. In all seriousness, I really did enjoy it all. I found a few favorites, a few holy grails, and I've continued to use those products. I recently started looking for something new and I discovered a new ingredient. Well, I didn't discover it, I just happened upon it as a main ingredient in many skincare products. At first, silly me thought it was a new brand. Then I started seeing it pop up in a lot of product description pages. Polydeoxyribonucleotide or better known as PDRN. I did a little research on the internet as one does and found that the PDRN is quite popular nowadays in the world of skincare because of its regenerative and healing properties. I am all here for regenerative and healing properties in my skincare products. I look forward to learning more about this new (to me) ingredient. I came across this bottle 13.2-ounce bottle of Karl & Hans Moisturizing Body Lotion not too long ago and it promised deep hydration with its coconut-derived extracts and it, too, had some PDRN in it, RICERA PDRN plus ceramide complex, to strengthen the skin barrier. Now, I've only been using it for about a month, when I'm home. With it's tall pump bottle containing 13.2 ounces of product, it's a bit too big to be sticking it in my purse. I do, however, keep it in my bathroom and use it as my body lotion after my showers. First of all, the smell is just incredible. I just used it to inspire this review. A good pump of this lotion was more than enough to moisturize my hands and my arms. What surprised me about this lotion was how fast it absorbs into my skin. There is no tacky or greasy feeling after application, the only evidence I've just used a lotion is the dry skin on my hands is not as noticeable due to the moisturizing properties of this lotion and the lovely soft scent of coconut wafting about the room. My skin feels soft and the dry skin isn't as evident. I haven't been using this product enough to say that it can do what it claims, but I can say that I enjoy and like this lotion very much and will continue to use it. at $1.74 an ounce, it's definitely an affordable skincare option to continue to use all over the body, after every shower and on my hands after every handwash. I think it would be a great gift to each of the team of ladies I work with. I've often received remarks that I smell so good from them, and I just smile because it's not a fancy, expensive perfume I imagine they think it is. It's just a great lotion that I got from Amazon. If, over time, I see the overall appearance of my skin appear healthier, than I will consider that a double win. I definitely recommend this moisturizing lotion. I am happy with using it and I think you will be, too. Gift it to yourself or to your friends. The scent as lovely as it is, could also be used by the men in the house, too. I might start keeping my bottle by the kitchen sink so my husband could enjoy it as I do.

Love the scent! Paraben free and really hydrating
Scent: Mellow Coconut, Size: 13.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Mellow Coconut, Size: 13.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've never used any Karl&Hans product before, but I'm really impressed with what they've done here. Contrary to the very European name, this lotion is made in Korea. The Mellow Coconut fragrance isn't subtle, but it's relaxing. It's blatantly coconut right off the bat, but when it settles in, there's a lingering fruity vanilla scent. It'll stay wafting around you for a good amount of time after application. The lotion is pretty rich and thick in consistency. It's not quite a cream, but it's thick enough that it doesn't run much, or at all, when you plop some on a vertical surface. That might just be because it's cold where I am, though, so it might be more runny in hotter climates. The thickness betrays how easily it rubs in. It's super quick to absorb and hydrates well without feeling heavy. My skin feels moisturized but not sticky or greasy. PDRN seems to be the hot buzz ingredients of the times right now. I'm not fully educated in the science behind it, but this lotion is really turning me into a believer of whatever skincare magic it's supposed to work. According to Skin Safe, it's also free of parabens, nickel, lanolin, and a bunch of other top common allergy causing preservatives. At $23 for 13.2 fl oz/390 ml, this is definitely steeper in price than your average body lotion, but it works some serious magic in the moisturizing department. It's been a good while since my skin felt so satisfyingly supple. I'd prefer if the scent weren't quite as strong, I can't deny it smells good.

Side by side comparison ......
Scent: Fresh Mint, Size: 13.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Like everyone else shopping around for lotion, I want one that, most importantly, works. I'm so very tired of lotions that feel like I'm applying colored water to hands so my go to lotion has become Gold Bond as it's a genuinely thick, somewhat long lasting lotion with minimal scent at a decent (ish) price point. I am however, always looking to find something even better so I thought I'd give this stuff a try. This is just an estimation, but I feel it is about 20% less viscous than the Gold Bond Healing lotion however, in a side by side test where I applied the back of one hand with the GB and the back of the other with this K&H brand, after one hour the K&H feels every bit as supple but just a tad more velvety if you will. Although I prefer a non scented lotion, after an hour, the K&H scent has indeed lighted up a bit but smells better than the GB. The GB seems to almost have an underlying petroleum type odor - not offensive really but just that the K&H smells better to me is all. The Gold Bond does get the favoring nod in the price dept though as it's very close to 50% less expensive than this Karl & Hans. If all things were equal (and that includes the price), I'd pick the K&H over the GB however with price point always being of concern for me personally, I don't think the attributes of the K&H beat out the overall value of the GB.
