Introducing the Ficus triangularis, also known as the Triangle Ficus, which is an easy-to-grow species belonging to the Moraceae family. Native to South Africa, it is grown worldwide as an adorable indoor houseplant.  It has several other common names including, the triangular gicus, Triangle Fig tree, Ficus triangularis tree, or Triangle Tree. 

The botanical name Ficus triangularis, is derived from the Latin word "triangularis," which refers to its distinctive triangular-shaped leaves. This unique plant has gained popularity among plant enthusiasts for its striking appearance and interesting features. 


The Ficus triangularis is a tree, that can grow up to 8 feet tall and 4 feet wide, with leaves growing along its flexible stems. However, as a Ficus triangularis bonsai indoors, its height is about 3 feet.

Bonsai enthusiasts can carefully prune it and create a bonsai tree version of the plant.

This allows them to appreciate the beauty of the plant in a miniature form and showcase their skills in bonsai cultivation.

This plant is known for its smaller, spaced-out leaves, which add more visual interest and are easier to care for compared to its common Ficus relatives. These waxy triangle-shaped leaves have pointed tips and are a dark, glossy green.    

The Ficus triangularis can grow quite tall, so it may need some extra support to prevent it from leaning or toppling over. Bamboo stakes are added to support and shape it and blend well with the natural aesthetic of the plant.   

The Ficus triangularis flower can bloom throughout the year. These Small blooms grow inside the syconium (fig), while red-ripe, round-to-ellipsoid figs are carried in leaf axils and twig surfaces, which add an extra touch of charm to the plant.  

This winter dormant houseplant loves full sun to partial shade but is a slow-growing succulent. Its growth habit and graceful arching stems make it a favorite among Ficus enthusiasts.  

When it comes to Ficus triangularis propagation, it can be propagated through stem cuttings. Simply take a stem cutting from a healthy plant, remove the lower leaves, and plant it in a well-drained potting soil. Keep the soil moist and provide indirect light, and soon enough, you'll have a new Triangular Ficus plant to enjoy. 

Watering Needs 

The Ficus triangularis is drought-tolerant by nature, and its fleshy, water-storing stems can hold a lot of water.  However, their root structure is easily susceptible to overwatering so make sure that you don't overwater as it can lead to root rot and fungal infections.  

In the spring and summer, during the growing period, it typically requires watering every 7-10 days, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. During periods of extreme heat, you may need to water more frequently to prevent the plant from drying out. When watering, make sure to thoroughly moisten the soil, allowing the excess water to drain out of the pot. Refrain from overwatering since it can cause root rot.  

During the winter months, you can reduce the frequency of watering, as the Ficus triangularis plant's growth slows down. Just keep an eye on the soil moisture and adjust accordingly. By providing the right amount of water, your Triangular Ficus will thrive. 

Light Requirements 

When growing indoors, this Ficus triangularis plant loves bright, indirect light. Place it near a window where it will receive bright, filtered sunlight all day. Too much direct sunlight might scorch the foliage, so keep it out of the way. If you notice that the plant is stretching towards the light, you can rotate it regularly to promote healthy growth.  

When planting outdoors, the Triangle Ficus thrives in partial shade to full sun conditions for at least 4-6 hours daily. If you're planning to move your plant outdoors, make sure to acclimate it gradually to prevent sunburn. Start by placing it in a shaded area and gradually expose it to more sunlight over a week or two. 

Remember to provide adequate water and monitor the soil moisture levels, as outdoor conditions can vary. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

When it comes to choosing the right soil and fertilizers for your adorable Ficus triangularis, you need to be extra cautious and need to use the right kind of soil. Moisture can be a real killer, leading to root and stem rot in no time flat. But fear not my fellow green thumbs! Planet Desert has got your back with our specialized succulent potting, opens in a new tab mix that includes 5 natural substrates with organic mycorrhizae – perfect for promoting healthy roots and happy plants. 

When it comes to fertilizing, you can use a balanced (5-10-5), water-soluble NPK fertilizer formulated for houseplants. During the growing season in the spring, you can fertilize your Fig tree once a year. Be sure to follow the instructions for the correct dilution and application rate. During the winter months, when the plant's growth slows down, you can reduce or even stop fertilizing altogether. 

Pro Tip

Remember to always check the moisture level of the soil before fertilizing. If the soil is dry, it's best to water the plant first and then apply the fertilizer.

Hardiness Zones & More 

The Ficus triangularis typically grown as an indoor plant and is not frost-tolerant. It thrives perfectly in warm temperatures between 65-75°F. It's important to keep the plant away from drafts or sudden temperature fluctuations, as it can be sensitive to those.  

For outdoor cultivation, this triangularis ficus is perfectly suitable in USDA zones 12-13. In these zones, the plant can tolerate temperatures down to 50°F for short periods. It's always a good idea to provide some protection, such as moving it indoors or covering it during colder months.  

The Triangular Ficus appreciates moderate to high humidity levels. Indoor humidity can often be lower, especially during the winter when heating systems are in use. You can use a humidifier or put a tray filled with water next to the plant to increase humidity. Misting the leaves with water can also help, but avoid misting too frequently, as it can lead to fungal issues.   

Final Thoughts 

Overall, the Ficus triangularis (Triangular Ficus) is a captivating plant with its unique triangular-shaped leaves and compact size. Its popularity among plant enthusiasts is well-deserved due to its striking appearance and ease of care. This plant can add a touch of elegance to any indoor or outdoor space, making it a wonderful addition to your plant collection.

A Foundling's Felicity
This book or novel or whatever you may deem fit to call it has so many points in its favour that it's difficult to know where to begin. I think a rundown of a few of the myriad of characters that delight me personally might do for starters: Tom Jones - A young fellow with many "imperfections" if so they may be called, but a robust fellow with a "good heart." Prudence and what is commonly called virtue are not his strong suit - But may I remind the reader that virtue comes from the Latin word for "manliness"- Tom is certainly possessed of the word's etymological origins, if not of its modern usage (particularly in amorous matters)--And a good thing too, or we should have no story here to delight us! Squire Western- Another rambunctious character, who, for me, typifies all that is Eighteenth Century England. Every time he appeared in this book, whether it was to comment on wenching, wine, or riding to hounds a smirk would immediately cross my face followed invariably by chuckling by the end of the chapter. Henry Fielding - The author plays as much a part of the book as any of the characters with many prologues and prefaces and etc. For these, and for much of the rest of the book, I might add, the reader who has not had four years of Latin inculcated into him at an English boarding school would do well to buy the Oxford edition, which fully explains all the learned quotes - Also, as one who was thus inculcated but is inclined to laziness, the Oxford edition's notes prove extremely helpful also. Fielding also gives us a lively picture of the literary life of his time, which the Oxford footnotes do a deft job of explaining- In short, buy the Oxford edition. This review can not be comprehensive. There are simply too many characters to even make a go at encompassing them all. I'm merely describing some of the, to me, more delightful ones. The book as a whole is simply a joy to read, in its comic descriptions of all who will deign to admit that they are human, and of some priggish sorts who will not so deign. I can put it no better than Fielding Himself at the beginning of Book XV: "There are a set of religious, or rather moral writers, who teach that virtue is the certain road to happiness, and vice to misery, in this world. A very wholesome and comfortable doctrine, and to which we have but one objection, namely, that is not true." In short, this is a delightful ramble of a book which, while entertaining the reader not too attached to Sunday School, sheds light on how unvirtuous the virtuous can be, and how kind and good-natured the roguish can be as well as giving us as good a history lesson on the state of affairs in Eighteenth century England (with attention given to the Jacobite Rebellion etc.) as many a "proper" history does. Who, I ask myself, would not delight in this book? ---Well...for the priggish, there's always Jane Austen.

The Sidekick in Early-Modern Literature.
Tom Jones is probably the most influential novel in English history, pioneering elements like complex characterization, social criticism and authorial interjection. But you already knew that. What you want to know is, is this a good book for us in the 21st century. And here, it's not so clear. The dialogue is pretty brisk, and some of the exchanges (the stereotypical Whig Mrs. Western arguing with her Jacobite brother is a particular treat) are actually funny. The latter part of the novel evolves into a farce, with a dozen characters engaged in scheming against one another, while Tom and Sophia helplessly go along. Farce works better in drama, where it has a faster pace, but it's always a welcome mode of comedy. You don't see enough farces. Some of the characters are evocative (why do I picture Blifil as looking like Ted Cruz?) but some are not: Dowling is just a lawyer, and Mrs. Miller is a good woman, like thousands who have come since, and that's all there is to it. It's not as if every character needs to, or can, be a fully realized person, but the parts of the novel spent with these human plot devices do feel mechanical. But Mr. Partridge, Tom's traveling companion, is in a different category altogether, and he just poisons the parts of the novel that he features in (chiefly the middle third). Eighteenth Century literature has a depressing reliance on goofy loose-lipped sidekicks: Mr. Partridge, Hugh Strap, Humphrey Clinker, Andrew Fairservice, Friday. Sometimes they're servants, but sometimes they're just stupid friends. Part of this must be practical: It's difficult to follow a wandering hero (and why are the heroes of these novels always wandering? But that's a different question altogether) without giving him a friend to talk to. Maybe early novelists had a hard time sketching characters who didn't have a way to discuss the ongoing action. But mostly, I think this is the bad influence of Don Quixote, which was becoming increasingly popular in England during this period. Sancho Panza is OK, and he's certainly the funniest element of that leaden tome. But Mr. Partridge *is* Sancho Panza, cowardice, superstition and all, and one Sancho Panza was more than enough. You know? There's a limited number of things that a silly, selfless, lazy pal can do, and it's hard to read about the same old doofus, yet again.

Delightful and entertaining
Format: Kindle
314. The History of Tom Jones: a foundling by Henry Fielding (Novel-Audible/E Book-Fiction) 5* I read along with the Audible of the novel which I found a highly delightful and entertaining experience. The narrator, Bill Homewood, who performed the audio version of the work was excellent doing the various characters as well as the invisible narrator (author) of the story. The Synopsis is as follows: A foundling of mysterious parentage brought up by Mr. Allworthy on his country estate, Tom Jones is deeply in love with the seemingly unattainable Sophia Western, the beautiful daughter of the neighboring squire—though he sometimes succumbs to the charms of the local girls. When Tom is banished to make his own fortune and Sophia follows him to London to escape an arranged marriage, the adventure begins. A vivid Hogarthian panorama of eighteenth-century life, spiced with danger and intrigue, bawdy exuberance and good-natured authorial interjections, Tom Jones is one of the greatest and most ambitious comic novels in English literature. It is rather brilliant, and there is no lack of shenanigans as we follow Jones through his history and the reader never knows when and where the author will abruptly go off on a tangent, told in a most eloquent manner, end with a flourish and no doubt tossed his quill down and took a bow. I am either taken in by some farce or thoroughly enchanted by this author. As Fielding is rather the loquacious writer this read comes in Audible time at almost 38 hours or roughly 1,000 pages but worth every minute spent on it.

An epic nearly 300 years old
Tom Jones is the comical history of a young man who was adopted into a rich family and faces a brother who is against him all while they grow into maturity. It’s kind of like the first part of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure except with Jonathan and Dio being reversed and with no vampires, but there is a moment where someone gets really scared while watching the ghost in hamlet so there’s at least some notion of the supernatural. Getting into it though, it’s an easy read despite it’s length encompassing 18 books, it’s honestly fascinating that it was able to be written so cleanly considering how many gaps there must of been between these books being written, it reads to us as a consistent narrative, but to imagine the wait and changing times that must have occurred during the duration to the story is really interesting to consider. The role and function of the narrator is probably the only real glimpse of this in narrative as he’s really just talking to us in the first chapter of every book, but the narrator being so clever and charming makes the only thing of interest be him and the relationship we form to him. It’s an incredible experience that I can recommend the entire story for alone. Getting to know the narrator is like talking to an old, reliable friend and it’s worth reading into nearly 300 years on.
