Ficus Triangularis is a medium sized tree outside in the ground in the semi-arid areas it favors in its native habitat, and a small to medium tree in your semi-arid habitat at home. On the beigy-grey trunks we come to expect in our Ficus, we have wiry, brownish stems holding forth with, of course, alternate triangle-shaped leaves with softened corners, reminiscent of the wax plant in satiny green sturdiness. Ghostly, paler green veins trace their way from the midrib to leaf's edge. Leaves come full and close together. This Ficus is a tree but can be shaped, like most of our houseplant Ficus, into any size and shape you want; columns, bushes, standards (a tree with one trunk and a bushy treetop), whatever. Some brave experts have created beautiful bonsai plants with gnarled, thick grey trunks that look 100 years old with a graceful canopy of emerald triangles. Rarely, you may get baby figlets in pale blush to rose colored clusters, beloved of birds.
