Ficus Microcarpa Moclame – Green, Gold
Plant description
Ficus microcarpa ‘Moclame’ is an indoor ficus with calm, oval leaves in a deep green tone and a naturally upright growth habit. This plant is delivered at an approximate height of 95 cm (measured including the pot) in a Ø21 cm nursery pot, and comes with the Mayk Gold decorative pot for a clean, finished look. The plant is trained along a support stake, helping it grow straight and making it well suited for homes where you want a tall, slim profile without taking up much floor space.
The ‘Moclame’ is often chosen as a modern alternative to broader ficus varieties. Its foliage is compact and glossy, with leaves that sit neatly along the stems. In day-to-day living it reads as simple greenery—easy to combine with pale woods, stoneware, linen textiles and muted colour palettes. Like many ficus plants, it’s also commonly described as an air-improving houseplant, contributing to a fresher-feeling indoor environment when placed among other plants.
Plant care
- Light requirements: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Tolerates medium light, but growth will be slower. Avoid harsh midday sun on the leaves.
- Watering routine: Water when the top 2–4 cm of soil feels dry. Keep the soil lightly moist, not wet; empty excess water from any inner pot or saucer.
- Humidity preferences: Moderate household humidity is suitable. Appreciates occasional misting or a gentle wipe-down in drier months.
- Temperature range: Best between 18–26°C. Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below ~15°C.

Placement in the home
Place this ficus where it receives steady daylight—near an east- or west-facing window is often ideal. In a living room it works well beside a sofa or bookshelf, adding height without visual noise. In a hallway, choose a spot with natural light and stable temperatures; ficus plants dislike frequent cold drafts from doors. It also fits neatly in a home office, where the upright form stays tidy and easy to maintain.
Care tips
Ficus plants prefer consistency. Try not to move it often, and rotate the pot a quarter turn every few weeks for even growth. Feed with a balanced houseplant fertiliser about once a month during spring and summer; reduce feeding in winter. If leaves drop after a change in light or temperature, it usually stabilises once conditions are steady again. Wipe leaves with a soft, damp cloth to keep the surface clean and support photosynthesis.
