# Title: Ficus Carica Gustissimo Perretta – Green


## Description: Ficus Gustissimo Perretta is a young fig plant (Ficus carica) grown in a nursery pot with a diameter of Ø19 cm and an approximate height of ↕50 cm. It is recognised by its deeply lobed, rich green leaves with a slightly leathery feel. This variety is grown for its edible figs in the right conditions, while also working as a sculptural green plant for bright indoor spaces, conservatories, or a sheltered terrace. The plant has an upright, branching habit and a naturally airy crown, making it easy to place without taking over the room. Compared to many common indoor ficus plants, a fig (Ficus carica) benefits from more light and a more seasonal rhythm. With a bright position and steady care, it will keep a healthy leaf structure and can develop into a productive container plant over time. Plant care Light requirements: Bright light is essential. Place in a very bright spot with a few hours of gentle direct sun if possible. Indoors, a south- or west-facing window is ideal; avoid hot midday sun behind glass during heatwaves. Watering routine: Water thoroughly, then allow the top 3–5 cm of soil to dry before watering again. Reduce watering in winter when growth slows. Never leave the pot standing in water. Humidity preferences: Normal indoor humidity is fine. Provide good airflow and avoid constantly damp soil to reduce leaf drop and fungus issues. Temperature range: 18–26°C during active growth is ideal. Protect from cold draughts and temperatures below 10°C. In winter, a cooler, bright place helps the plant rest. Growth and characteristics Plant species: Ficus carica ‘Gustissimo Perretta’ (fig plant) Approximate size at delivery: ↕50 cm, supplied in a Ø19 cm grower’s pot Leaf type: Large, lobed, deep green foliage with a matte-to-satin surface Growth speed: Moderate to fast in strong light during spring and summer; slower in winter Placement in the home Place this fig plant where light is strongest: next to a large window in the living room, in a bright kitchen, or in a home office with plenty of daylight. It also suits a sunroom or glazed balcony. If you move it outdoors for summer, do so gradually over 7–10 days so the leaves can adapt to stronger sun and wind. Care tips Use a pot with drainage holes and a free-draining potting mix. Rotate the pot occasionally for even growth, and wipe dust from the leaves so the plant can photosynthesise efficiently. During the growing season, a balanced fertiliser every 2–4 weeks supports leaf and shoot development. Pruning in late winter or early spring helps keep a compact shape and encourages new branching. Shipping This plant is shipped directly from a Netherlands grower to ensure freshness and plant health during transport.
