Common Names: Mosaic Fig, Clown Fig
Mosaic Fig is a stunning foliage plant that brings a splash of white and green to your garden. While technically edible it's more of a showy tree than fruit producing.
The leaves look like they have been painted with bright splatters, making it a real standout in any collection. It is a tough plant that handles the heat well but not the cold when juvenile and is perfect for adding a tropical feel to your outdoor space or a bright room.

Mosaic Figs are easy to look after and grow at a medium pace. They love a drink when the top of the soil feels dry and enjoy a bit of compost to keep them happy. You can keep them in a pot on the patio or plant them in the ground to create a colorful screen.
Interesting Notes:
This plant is famous for its marble-like leaf patterns which are different on every leaf. It is a top pick for people who love rare looking plants without the fuss of a difficult tree.
The Mosaic Fig is a great way to break up all the green in your garden with something truly special.
