Ficus villosa
Ficus villosa is a rare and hard to find Ficus species from Asia. It has
green leaves with hairs all over new leaves are usually red to bronze
in color. Leaves are heart shaped and point downward. It is one of the
few species of Ficus that shingle as it grows. Which means it grows flat
to the surface it climbs. It works great as a terrarium plant hanging
pots or growing up a totem or tree. Hardy to zone 10 it is sensitive to
cold. This is the first time I have tried to propagate the plant so
hopefully I will have good luck in rooting these pieces in 3 inch
terrarium dome pots. If you like rare and unusual this is one to grow.
