Ficus Microcarpa Moclame Braided – Green

Plant description

Ficus microcarpa ‘Moclame’ is an indoor ficus tree with compact, glossy green leaves and a neatly braided trunk. This plant is delivered at an approximate height of 110 cm in a Ø23 cm nursery pot, making it an easy choice when you want a taller houseplant that still fits comfortably in everyday rooms.

The ‘Moclame’ variety is valued for its dense foliage and calm, rounded crown. The braided stem gives the plant a structured, architectural look without feeling formal—well suited to Scandinavian interiors where greenery is used for softness and balance. As a true indoor tree, it adds volume at eye level and works well as a natural divider in open-plan spaces.

Ficus is known for being robust once settled. Like most ficus varieties, it prefers a stable spot and consistent care. Give it time to acclimatise after delivery, and you’ll be rewarded with steady growth and healthy, deep green leaves.

Plant care

• Light requirements: Bright, indirect light is ideal. It also tolerates semi-shade, but growth may slow. Avoid harsh midday sun close to the glass.
• Watering routine: Water when the top 3–5 cm of soil feels dry. Water thoroughly, then let excess drain away. Reduce watering in winter.
• Humidity preferences: Average indoor humidity is fine. In very dry homes, occasional misting or placing the pot on a pebble tray can help prevent brown leaf edges.
• Temperature range: Best at 18–26°C. Keep away from cold drafts and avoid temperatures below 15°C.

Placement in the home

Place this ficus where it gets consistent daylight: a living room corner near a window with filtered light, beside a sofa, or next to a dining area where the crown can spread without being brushed constantly. It also works well in a hallway with good ambient light or in a home office to soften clean lines and shelving. Turn the pot a little every few weeks to encourage even growth.

Care tips

Ficus prefers routine. Try not to move it frequently, and avoid overwatering—yellowing leaves are often a sign the soil stays wet for too long. A well-draining indoor plant soil is recommended; if you repot, choose a pot with drainage holes. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth now and then to remove dust and help the plant photosynthesise efficiently. If the plant grows taller or fuller than desired, light pruning in spring helps maintain a balanced shape.
