Harper's survival guide

Golden lime halos, bold glossy tree foliage!

Meet Harper, the Ficus altissima—a sun-drenched, towering beauty native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, famous for her massive, glossy leaves splashed with vibrant lime green, emerald, and glowing golden-yellow margins! Rumour has it, Harper considers herself the primary sun-catcher of the household and will throw a subtle leaf-dropping tantrum if moved away from her favorite sunny spot. Stronger and slightly more forgiving than her moody Fiddle Leaf cousin, Harper thrives on bright, indirect light, warm temperatures, and letting her soil dry out moderately between thorough waterings. Keep her bold, variegated leaves wiped dust-free, and Harper will gladly stand tall as the glowing, golden center of your living space!

How to care for Harper

There's more to this girl than meets the eye. You see, Gemma here actually has some pretty dark roots! In the native forests that grow the Ficus Altissima, Gemma is known as a strangler tree. That's right, Gemma will germinate on top of an existing tree to eventually overtake it completely. We've talked to her about her past and she's promised not to do any strangling at Plantsome, or at your home!

Hey you! You may have noticed that this plant was once classified as an air purifier. While all plants do purify your air to an extent, it's significantly less than this green amigo would like to take credit for! Wanna learn more? Read about it here.
