The Midnight Ficus Bush is a stunning, compact plant known for its glossy, deep green to nearly black leaves, making it an attractive choice for indoor décor or patio containers. Its dense, bushy growth provides a lush, tropical feel, and it’s perfect for adding texture and color to small spaces. An interesting characteristic of the Midnight Ficus Bush is its ability to thrive as a low-maintenance, indoor-friendly option that offers year-round beauty.
When grown as a bush in pots, the Midnight Ficus typically reaches a height of 3 to 5 feet, making it easy to manage in smaller spaces. It prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate partial shade. In southern Louisiana, this ficus bush should be kept indoors or brought inside when temperatures dip below 40°F, as it is not frost-tolerant. Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist, but allow the top inch to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.
