The Ficus Microcarpa, also known as the Chinese Banyan Tree, with its elegant stem and clipped topiary shape, is a stunning addition to any indoor plant collection. This particular variety, grown with a single trunk, creates a classic tree silhouette that adds both height and three-dimensional interest to smaller spaces. At W21cm x H90cm, these exceptionally pretty trees are perfect for making a strong visual impact.

Timeless Elegance for Traditional or Modern Spaces:

The Ficus Microcarpa’s graceful, upright form lends itself perfectly to more traditional interiors, such as Victorian or Edwardian homes. Its neatly clipped topiary shape complements classic design elements, while its compact size ensures it doesn’t overwhelm smaller rooms.

However, this tree isn’t limited to traditional settings. Its striking silhouette can serve as a bold contrast in modern homes, where the elegant stem provides an exciting juxtaposition to contemporary décor. Use it as a focal point to create playful contrast or inject a touch of nature into sleek, minimalist spaces.

Best Pot Choices:

To complete the look, we recommend pairing your Ficus Microcarpa with a classic terracotta pot for a timeless appeal. For a more modern touch, try one of our Tembesi pots in brass or black, which highlight the tree’s structure while adding a chic, contemporary edge.

Care and Styling:

The Ficus Microcarpa is a versatile and easy-care houseplant that will continue to delight as it grows. To maintain its classic topiary form, it’s essential to prune it regularly, keeping the shape tight and symmetrical. However, if you prefer a wilder, more natural look, allow the tree to grow and spread—it will maintain its elegance, with branches cascading outwards to create a fuller display.

Styling Ideas:

  • In Traditional Spaces: Place this tree in rooms with high ceilings and rich interiors, allowing it to bring height and a refined natural presence to formal settings.

  • In Modern Spaces: Use the Ficus Microcarpa as a feature piece in contemporary homes, creating a unique contrast between the structured tree and modern lines.

  • Accent Corners: Its compact size makes it ideal for brightening up corners or flanking entryways, where it can subtly frame a space while providing dynamic greenery.

  • Minimalist Designs: Pair the elegant stem with minimalist décor to create a striking focal point. The simplicity of the tree allows it to shine in clean, uncluttered settings.

Care Requirements:

  • Light: Place your Ficus Microcarpa in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light levels but will thrive and maintain its shape best in a well-lit area.

  • Watering: Water moderately, ensuring the soil dries out slightly between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as the roots prefer well-draining conditions.

  • Pruning: Regular pruning is essential to maintain its topiary shape. Trim back any new growth to keep the canopy neat and symmetrical. If left untrimmed, the tree will naturally grow and spread outwards.

  • Temperature: This Ficus thrives in temperatures between 18°C to 24°C, making it ideal for indoor living.

  • Feeding: During the growing season, feed your tree once a month with a balanced, diluted fertiliser to encourage healthy growth.

Why Choose Ficus Microcarpa with Elegant Stem?

With its beautiful topiary form, compact size, and versatile styling options, the Ficus Microcarpa is an exceptional choice for plant lovers who want to add height and structure to their space. Whether you're seeking to bring nature into a traditional home or create contrast in a modern interior, this elegant tree is a perfect solution. It offers both classic beauty and a timeless charm that will continue to grow and evolve as you nurture it.

Really enjoyed this book and found it helpful
Format: Kindle
The first night after starting this diet I found myself eating a juicy half pound hamburger without the bread, a sweet potato with butter, a small salad with fresh lemons squeezed on top and some sparkling water. Life could be a lot worse!!!! This book was written by 2 Harvard educated scientists. It is thoroughly researched and made a ton of sense to me. I've dieted a lot in my life. I always lost weight and always gained it back. That's a pretty frustrating way to live. The weight gain and loss roller coaster is awful. Over the last 20 years I've tried Atkins, Paleo Diet, Zone Diet, Weight Watchers, Nutrisystem, South Beach Diet, Mediterranean Diet, Blood type Diet etc etc etc....They all work and they all have flaws which ultimately caused me to stray from them for one reason or another. As an example Nutrisystem is convenient but I don't want to eat that food forever. Atkins and Paleo cut out major food groups PERMANENTLY! They are way too extreme for me. Zone Diet was too much work. Weight watchers with the points was too time consuming. South Beach Diet was a nice fad but I got tired of that also. Anyway, without dragging on too much longer I want to say that the best part of the Perfect Health Diet is its SIMPLICITY! This way of eating doesn't require much thought, planning, or effort. The authors give you a list of foods to eat without asking you to eliminate carbs, fatty foods, meat or dairy. I was taught what carbs to eat and avoid and in what portions. I learned what fatty foods to eat and how often to eat them. I learned about about protein and was taught the right amounts of protein to eat. Most importantly i never feel hungry on the Perfect Health Diet! This diet WILL reduce your food cravings. You are fed well. You eat a lot of fatty foods and still lose weight. You can have dairy in the form of yogurt. You can have starches. You eat fruits and veggies along with lots of eggs, meat, and some fish. Basically you feel healthy because your body gets everything it NEEDS to make you feel GOOD! This diet is the only one I've tried that eliminates food cravings and hunger. I'd give this book 10 stars if I could

The Best, Readable Single-Source Book On Diet and Health
Format: Hardcover
As other reviewers have said, this is really the best "Paleo 2.0 book" available. For those who haven't yet jumped on the bandwagon, eating like our ancient Paleolithic (and Mesolithic) ancestors will help us avoid many of our chronic diseases and feel good doing it! And yet, the Jaminets also take the approach that a straight meat and veggies diet is simply too low in carbs for a properly functioning immune system and proper thyroid level (carbs are required for basic immune functions like phagocytic attack and mucus secretion, as well as neurological and immune energy which feeds back to thyroid output). They like carb sources found in the paleolithic and mesolithic cultures such as tubers, fruit, dairy (for some) and low-in-antinutrient white rice. Now, to the practical: on this diet my family and I have seen an increased level of energy and overall spunk (skin shine, sleep quality, etc.) compared to when we were on, in sequence, a paleo Zone type of diet (Barry Sears' Zone diet using paleo foodstuffs), and a lower carb Mark Sisson-style primal diet. Basically, this has more saturated fat than the former and more carbs than the latter. We are as lean as we were, but feeling better and without any problems, whatsoever. For those who have chronic infections (read: "lingering health issues"), this book also explains how you can fine-tune your diet and supplementation to fight these infections, whether they are viral, fungal, or bacterial (a different approach for each). The same for athletes. My only criticism is that they only give 1 sentence to the classes of diseases which fare better avoiding starch and, instead, getting their carbs from fruit and honey (such as Ankylosing Spondylitis, Psoriatic Spondylitis, and other within the class; as well as some other diseases). While this diet/lifestyle is very easy to combine with a GAPS approach, with carbs from simply sugars and not starch, this goes unsaid and the authors tend to prefer starches for most. In short, this is the best book out there for a well-researched, unbiased view on diet and how it impacts our lives and health. I actually recommend for those who really care to read their blog, and then go buy the book for the relatives who probably won't read the blog on their own.

One of the better food, diet, and health books available, but with significant drawbacks
Format: Kindle
Paul and Shou-Ching Jaminet present the most cogent argument in favor of ancestral-style eating that I have ever read. In fact, I never really understood the logic behind Paleo until I read Perfect Health Diet. I applaud their scientific rigor and willingness to challenge dietary dogma, Paleo or otherwise. There is no question that removing all grains and legumes from one's diet is incredibly effective for people with autoimmune diseases and some other chronic, intractable health conditions. But when taking the evolutionary perspective on human diets it's also important to recognize that many cultures have thrived on grains and legumes for millennia, and humans have evolved some clever ways to extract nutrients from foods that would otherwise be toxic through the use of prolonged soaking, sprouting, and fermentation, all techniques that are very effective at reducing seed toxicity. I think that properly prepared grains and legumes can be a nutritious part of our diets, at least for those of us who do not suffer from autoimmunity. Stephen Guyenet has written excellent posts on legumes (wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/2013/11/beans-lentils-and-paleo-diet.html) and grains (wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/search/label/lectins). I also wish that the Jaminets had delved a little bit deeper into the subject of fatty fish from a sustainability standpoint. They recommend that we eat fatty fish, but make no mention of seafood sustainability and the importance of avoiding farmed fish, especially farmed (aka "Atlantic") salmon. Farmed fish are fed soy, corn, and pellets made of smaller fatty fish like anchovies and sardines. Entire small fish fisheries off the coast of Western South America are being destroyed in order to feed our hunger for farmed salmon, while we have plenty of small fatty fish we can eat (but choose not to) here on the west coast of North America (herring, sardines, anchovies, etc.). I bet that the fat profile (3:6 ratio) of farmed salmon is not nearly as good as that of wild salmon and smaller cold water fish. That said, I highly respect and follow their writing and will continue to look forward to their excellent work.
