Description

Commonly called the Banana leaf fig for the long and slender shape of its leaves, is a species native to southeastern Asia, India, and China. Easier to care for than its cousins, it is less prone to dropping its leaves due to imperfect environmental conditions. Place it directly in an eastern facing window or a few feet removed from a southern or western facing window.
