Ficus binnendijkii ‘Alii’ is an unusual Ficus bearing long leaves that taper at the ends creating a graceful silhouette. An attractive braided stem supports a canopy of slender foliage making an impressive, upright focal point. This variety is much less prone to dropping its leaves than other Ficus. Particularly good at removing toxins and improving air quality within your home. Height: 300cm (118"). Spread: 150cm (59").

Super-easy and hassle-free, this houseplant comes ready-planted in a self-watering Hydro Pot.
