Origin
The Ficus microcarpa Moclame® originally comes from South Asia and was introduced to the Mediterranean region in the 19th century. This houseplant belongs to the Moraceae family, also known as the mulberry family.

Characteristics
The Ficus microcarpa Moclame® is a popular houseplant due to its compact shape and glossy, rich green leaves. The plant is characterised by its round leaf shape that is regular in form, with a strong midrib and fine side veins. In the right conditions, the plant can grow into a small tree, but is generally bred in smaller sizes for indoor domestic use.

Care
The Ficus microcarpa Moclame® requires both sun and shade, but avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn. Ensure that the soil is well-draining and not too wet to avoid root rot. Water the plant regularly, but be careful not to overwater. This plant also needs moderate temperatures, avoid extreme cold and heat.
