It pairs well with palm trees, allowing you to create a beautiful lush oasis and private backyard paradise.
Indian Laurel Is Drought Tolerant
Once established, ficus nitida is a drought tolerant tree that works in water wise landscapes, staying lush and green with little water! If you live near a busy street, you will want to plant Ficus 'Indian Laurel' trees, as it can help reduce noise, while providing valuable curb appeal.
Indian Laurel Grows In Difficult or Healthy Soil
Ficus plants do well in sandy or poor soil. They can have an extensive root system and can sometimes have invasive roots, so its best to plant them where you have a good amount of space and water deeply to keep the soil moist. Adding good organic matter to the soil will help them thrive and regular watering will keep the roots moving downward through the soil instead of outward.
