Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a compact plant with leathery, dense, oval-shaped leaves that are smaller than those of classic species. The color of mature leaves is dark green with a bronze or burgundy tint, while young leaves develop from pink or red stipules.

The plant has restrained growth, reaching a height of 1 to 2 meters in indoor conditions, which makes it convenient for interior use. The variety is characterized by low maintenance and high ornamental value, requiring standard care for Ficus with protection against waterlogging and direct sunlight.
