2 Ficus altissima 'Yellow Gem' Live Starter Plants – Bare Root in Soil Pod

Bring vibrant variegated foliage to your indoor plant collection with this set of 2 Ficus altissima 'Yellow Gem' live starter plants. This attractive tropical tree is prized for its glossy green leaves that develop bright yellow variegation under strong, bright light. It is an excellent choice for indoor spaces, offices, sunrooms, and decorative containers.

This listing includes 2 live starter plants with fully established root systems. These are young starter plants grown in 2-inch nursery pots during cultivation but are not fully rooted into the pots. The nursery pots are not included. You will receive healthy plants similar to those shown in the listing photos. Natural variation in size, foliage, and variegation is expected.

Yellow variegation develops best under strong, bright light. Plants may arrive with less pronounced yellow coloring due to lower light conditions during production and shipping. With appropriate lighting, new growth typically develops stronger variegation over time.

Each starter plant is carefully shipped bare root in a protective soil pod. Please do not remove or disturb the soil pod upon arrival, as it helps protect the developing root system and reduce transplant stress.

Plant Condition Disclosure:

Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.

Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.

Important Note:

You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.
