Ficus Microcarpa Moclame – Tall Green
Plant description
Ficus microcarpa ‘Moclame’ is a tall, upright indoor plant with glossy, oval green leaves and a calm, structured silhouette. This plant is supplied at an approximate height of 95 cm in a grow pot of Ø21 cm, placed inside the Igmar basket (woven cover pot as shown). The stems are guided along a support stake to keep the growth straight and stable—useful for maintaining a neat shape in everyday living spaces.
Known as one of the more reliable ficus varieties, ‘Moclame’ holds its foliage well when placed correctly and watered with consistency. Like many ficus plants, it contributes to a fresher indoor climate by helping filter the air, while bringing natural greenery to rooms where you want height without visual heaviness.
Plant care
- Light requirements: Bright, indirect light. Tolerates medium light, but avoid strong direct sun, especially midday.
- Watering routine: Water when the top 3–5 cm of soil feels dry. In most homes this is about once a week, less in winter. Avoid leaving water in the bottom of the pot.
- Humidity preferences: Moderate household humidity is suitable. Appreciates occasional misting or a wipe-down of leaves in dry periods.
- Temperature range: 18–26°C. Keep away from cold drafts, open windows in winter, and heat sources that dry the air.

Placement in the home
Place this ficus where it gets steady daylight without harsh sun—near an east or west-facing window is ideal, or a short distance back from a south-facing window with a sheer curtain. Its height makes it a good choice for a living room corner, beside a sofa, or next to a sideboard. In a hallway or office, it works best where there is consistent natural light and minimal temperature fluctuation.
Care tips
Ficus plants prefer routine. Try not to move it frequently, and rotate the plant a little every couple of weeks to keep growth even. Feed with a balanced houseplant fertiliser monthly during spring and summer; reduce to every 6–8 weeks in winter. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and support healthy photosynthesis. The Igmar basket is a decorative cover—keep the plant in its inner grow pot and make sure excess water can drain before placing it back inside the basket.
