Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Low light conditions? Don't worry about it. Here is a plant that seems to thrive at the hand of least attention. This Ficus has waxy leaves and produces small nodules of fruit. The habit is upright and somewhat spreading, like a tree. Its loyalty is unsurpassed, as it will grow where others fear to root. The growth is slow, but assured. An exceptional companion, it also makes a good bonsai.
