Introducing the Ficus triangularis, also known as the Triangle Ficus, which is an easy-to-grow species belonging to the Moraceae family. Native to South Africa, it is grown worldwide as an adorable indoor houseplant.  It has several other common names including, the triangular gicus, Triangle Fig tree, Ficus triangularis tree, or Triangle Tree. 

The botanical name Ficus triangularis, is derived from the Latin word "triangularis," which refers to its distinctive triangular-shaped leaves. This unique plant has gained popularity among plant enthusiasts for its striking appearance and interesting features. 


The Ficus triangularis is a tree, that can grow up to 8 feet tall and 4 feet wide, with leaves growing along its flexible stems. However, as a Ficus triangularis bonsai indoors, its height is about 3 feet.

Bonsai enthusiasts can carefully prune it and create a bonsai tree version of the plant.

This allows them to appreciate the beauty of the plant in a miniature form and showcase their skills in bonsai cultivation.

This plant is known for its smaller, spaced-out leaves, which add more visual interest and are easier to care for compared to its common Ficus relatives. These waxy triangle-shaped leaves have pointed tips and are a dark, glossy green.    

The Ficus triangularis can grow quite tall, so it may need some extra support to prevent it from leaning or toppling over. Bamboo stakes are added to support and shape it and blend well with the natural aesthetic of the plant.   

The Ficus triangularis flower can bloom throughout the year. These Small blooms grow inside the syconium (fig), while red-ripe, round-to-ellipsoid figs are carried in leaf axils and twig surfaces, which add an extra touch of charm to the plant.  

This winter dormant houseplant loves full sun to partial shade but is a slow-growing succulent. Its growth habit and graceful arching stems make it a favorite among Ficus enthusiasts.  

When it comes to Ficus triangularis propagation, it can be propagated through stem cuttings. Simply take a stem cutting from a healthy plant, remove the lower leaves, and plant it in a well-drained potting soil. Keep the soil moist and provide indirect light, and soon enough, you'll have a new Triangular Ficus plant to enjoy. 

Watering Needs 

The Ficus triangularis is drought-tolerant by nature, and its fleshy, water-storing stems can hold a lot of water.  However, their root structure is easily susceptible to overwatering so make sure that you don't overwater as it can lead to root rot and fungal infections.  

In the spring and summer, during the growing period, it typically requires watering every 7-10 days, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. During periods of extreme heat, you may need to water more frequently to prevent the plant from drying out. When watering, make sure to thoroughly moisten the soil, allowing the excess water to drain out of the pot. Refrain from overwatering since it can cause root rot.  

During the winter months, you can reduce the frequency of watering, as the Ficus triangularis plant's growth slows down. Just keep an eye on the soil moisture and adjust accordingly. By providing the right amount of water, your Triangular Ficus will thrive. 

Light Requirements 

When growing indoors, this Ficus triangularis plant loves bright, indirect light. Place it near a window where it will receive bright, filtered sunlight all day. Too much direct sunlight might scorch the foliage, so keep it out of the way. If you notice that the plant is stretching towards the light, you can rotate it regularly to promote healthy growth.  

When planting outdoors, the Triangle Ficus thrives in partial shade to full sun conditions for at least 4-6 hours daily. If you're planning to move your plant outdoors, make sure to acclimate it gradually to prevent sunburn. Start by placing it in a shaded area and gradually expose it to more sunlight over a week or two. 

Remember to provide adequate water and monitor the soil moisture levels, as outdoor conditions can vary. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

When it comes to choosing the right soil and fertilizers for your adorable Ficus triangularis, you need to be extra cautious and need to use the right kind of soil. Moisture can be a real killer, leading to root and stem rot in no time flat. But fear not my fellow green thumbs! Planet Desert has got your back with our specialized succulent potting, opens in a new tab mix that includes 5 natural substrates with organic mycorrhizae – perfect for promoting healthy roots and happy plants. 

When it comes to fertilizing, you can use a balanced (5-10-5), water-soluble NPK fertilizer formulated for houseplants. During the growing season in the spring, you can fertilize your Fig tree once a year. Be sure to follow the instructions for the correct dilution and application rate. During the winter months, when the plant's growth slows down, you can reduce or even stop fertilizing altogether. 

Pro Tip

Remember to always check the moisture level of the soil before fertilizing. If the soil is dry, it's best to water the plant first and then apply the fertilizer.

Hardiness Zones & More 

The Ficus triangularis typically grown as an indoor plant and is not frost-tolerant. It thrives perfectly in warm temperatures between 65-75°F. It's important to keep the plant away from drafts or sudden temperature fluctuations, as it can be sensitive to those.  

For outdoor cultivation, this triangularis ficus is perfectly suitable in USDA zones 12-13. In these zones, the plant can tolerate temperatures down to 50°F for short periods. It's always a good idea to provide some protection, such as moving it indoors or covering it during colder months.  

The Triangular Ficus appreciates moderate to high humidity levels. Indoor humidity can often be lower, especially during the winter when heating systems are in use. You can use a humidifier or put a tray filled with water next to the plant to increase humidity. Misting the leaves with water can also help, but avoid misting too frequently, as it can lead to fungal issues.

Surprisingly awesome. Seriously. And I hate buying clothes.
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
I'm 6'1", 215 with large shoulders and chest. "Athletic dad-bod." Nothing fits me perfectly. I'm constantly stuck between an XL and XXL shirt, and a 37x31 pant---so literally nothing fits me and if you're a big guy, we all know that most polo shirts look like crap and fit like garbage bags. The shiny tone first made me skeptical. I wasn't even going to take it out of the package. But for $19, I said screw it. It fits really well. Not slim fit, but not "Ralph Lauren trash bag regular fit." It's soft like textured silk. It looks good and is the perfect length if you're 6'-6'3. And no--I know your first thought with the texture and shine is "does it look like a cheesy club shirt on a NJ Italian guy?" Shockingly, no...it's actually really nice (yeah--I had the same thought). It's stretchy. It's relatively form fitting, and it's cool to the touch. I immediately bought 3 more. For $19--just buy it. You won't regret it.

Good shirt
Size: Medium, Color: Teal 02
Love the color and the design of the shirt. The small threads it’s made out of starting to come loose though. Now when look down at chest and stomach area, there are 15+ little strings that pop out of the shirt.

Awesome shirt!
Size: Medium, Color: Blue, Size: Medium, Color: Blue
This is a nice shirt! Let me start by saying I am 6 foot 2, 195pounds with about a 40 inch chest, 42 inches on a good day! Ha ha. I ordered a medium because I wanted an athletic fit. The medium fits just right. For those wanting a normal, roomier fit I would recommend the large for my size. I’ll get a lot of compliments when I wear this shirt. What I like about it is that it is wrinkle free and looks great, I would not wear it on a super hot day with a snug fit. I do live in Florida, so that makes a difference. I also ordered the black one, both the blue and the black look very good for dress /casual. It’s polyester so it’s not super soft, which is OK. That also means it does not shrink.

Nice shirt but seems to be confusion over the color/pattern.
Size: Medium, Color: Teal 02
Nice shirt. Looks sharp and feels comfy. Lightweight and breathable. Definitely an "upscale" polo that looks like it costs more than it does - so very happy with the value. Fits as expected for the size. The only issue is that I ordered a color and style called Teal-02 and they sent me Navy-01. The color and pattern is different. It's not bad, just not what I ordered. I requested a resend of the Teal...and got the same Navy color again. Annoying.
