Thanks to its compact growth and attractive leaf structure, this Ficus punctata is perfect for terrariums from 30x30x30 cm, paludariums, hanging baskets, or rainforest settings. This plant also provides a natural shelter for reptiles and amphibians and helps create a stable microclimate. Ficus punctata is native to the rainforests of Southeast Asia. In the wild, it grows as an epiphyte or small climber, elegantly trailing over branches and bushes. Its slow to moderate, trailing growth makes it ideal for the back and side walls of terrariums, while its structure contributes to a stable microclimate. Important: This ficus does not easily overgrow other plants and is therefore suitable for composite arrangements with other tropical species. Note: This species is sometimes incorrectly sold as "Ficus Panama," but it is a compact, small ficus from Southeast Asia.
