Botanical name: Ficus aspera ‘Variegata’
Also known as: Variegated Clown Fig, Mosaic Fig

Variegated Ficus Aspera is a bold and highly distinctive ficus known for its thick, rough textured leaves and dramatic mosaic like variegation. Each leaf displays an artistic mix of deep green, cream, and sometimes soft pink tones, making every plant completely unique. Its rugged texture and striking pattern give it a sculptural, statement presence that stands out among typical foliage plants. This ficus is a favorite for collectors who appreciate unusual leaf form and strong visual impact.

☀️ Light: Prefers bright indirect light. Brighter light helps maintain crisp variegation. Avoid harsh direct sun which may scorch leaves.

💧 Water: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Keep evenly moist but never soggy.

🌫️ Humidity: Enjoys moderate humidity but adapts well to average indoor conditions.

📏 Size: Can grow 2–5 feet tall indoors with thick stems and bold leaves.

🐾 Pet-friendly?: ❌ Not pet friendly (toxic if ingested).

🪴 Where It Looks Best: Perfect for living rooms, entryways, and statement plant corners where its unique foliage can be appreciated up close.

💡 Pro Tip: Rotate regularly for even growth. Sudden changes in light or temperature may cause leaf drop, so keep conditions consistent.
