Ficus binnendijkii ‘Alii’, also known as Ficus Alii or Narrow-Leaf Fig, is an elegant and easy-to-care-for houseplant belonging to the Moraceae family. Native to Southeast Asia, it is popular for its long, slender, deep green leaves and graceful, upright growth habit. Unlike the common Ficus benjamina, Ficus Alii is less prone to leaf drop and adapts well to indoor environments.

Leaves

The leaves of Ficus binnendijkii ‘Alii’ are long, narrow, and slightly curved, resembling a willow tree. They are deep green with a glossy surface, growing in an upward arching fashion. This ficus has a bushy, compact appearance and can be grown as a small tree, bush, or braided-trunk plant.

Growth Habit

This ficus is a slow-to-moderate grower, reaching heights of 1.5–3 meters (5–10 feet) indoors. It grows in an upright, tree-like form, with multiple thin stems supporting a lush canopy of leaves. If grown in ideal conditions, it can reach its full height in a few years, making it a statement plant for homes or offices.


Care Guide

Light Requirements

  • Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate medium light conditions.
  • Too much direct sun can scorch the leaves, while too little light may cause slower growth.
  • Best placed near an east- or west-facing window or a south-facing window with sheer curtains.
  • If grown in low-light conditions, supplement with a grow light to maintain healthy foliage.

Temperature & Humidity

  • Temperature: Prefers warm indoor temperatures between 18–27°C (65–80°F). Avoid exposure to cold drafts or temperatures below 10°C (50°F).
  • Humidity: Thrives in normal household humidity (40-60%), but appreciates occasional misting in dry environments. If the air is too dry, use a humidifier or pebble tray to increase moisture.

Watering

  • Water when the top 2-5 cm of soil feels dry.
  • Ensure the pot has good drainage, as overwatering can cause root rot.
  • Reduce watering in winter, as the plant’s growth slows.
  • Use room-temperature, filtered water to prevent leaf stress from chlorine or fluoride.

Soil & Potting Mix

A well-draining, aerated mix is essential for healthy root growth. A good mix includes:

  • High-quality potting soil (for nutrients)
  • Perlite or pumice (for aeration and drainage)
  • Coconut coir or peat moss (for moisture retention)
  • Activated charcoal (to prevent fungal growth)

Fertilisation

  • Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser (10-10-10 or 20-20-20) every 4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
  • Reduce feeding in autumn and winter.
  • For lush foliage, a nitrogen-rich fertiliser can be used occasionally.

Potting & Repotting

  • Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound.
  • Use a pot with drainage holes to prevent overwatering.
  • If the plant is too large to repot, replace the top layer of soil with fresh soil annually.

Pruning & Maintenance

  • Prune to shape the plant and encourage bushier growth.
  • Remove yellowing or damaged leaves to maintain a neat appearance.
  • Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and improve photosynthesis.

Propagation

Propagation is best done through stem cuttings:

  1. Cut a healthy stem with at least one node and a few leaves.
  2. Dip in rooting hormone (optional) for faster rooting.
  3. Place in water or soil, keeping it warm and humid until roots develop.
  4. Once roots are 5 cm or longer, transfer to a pot with well-draining soil.

Common Problems & Solutions

  • Yellowing Leaves – Overwatering is the most common cause. Allow soil to dry between waterings.
  • Leaf Drop – Normal when adjusting to a new environment, but sudden changes in light, temperature, or watering can cause excessive leaf loss.
  • Brown Leaf Tips – Usually due to low humidity or inconsistent watering. Increase moisture levels and check watering habits.
  • Slow Growth – Caused by low light or nutrient deficiency. Move to a brighter spot and fertilise as needed.
  • Pests (Spider Mites, Mealybugs, Scale, Aphids) – Clean leaves with neem oil or insecticidal soap to prevent infestations.

Outstanding Story!!!!!!!
Format: Kindle
Oh I loved this story. Sera is such an amazing, fun character. She has so much fire inside of herself. She has humor that makes you laugh with her sassy comments. The guys are fantastic. I don’t feel as if we really have gotten to know who and what they are but they are such a mix of fae. The story is extremely well written and developed. It had me pulled in and didn’t let go. There was so much action, drama, and suspense. Then we get to the ending and goodness there is so much going on. This ending was a major cliffhanger and I absolutely can’t wait to see what happens next.

Exceptional
Format: Kindle
I think this an exciting entertaining story different from other fantasy reverse harmen story. I love the 1st book in this series and hope it continues to weave a story of friendship, love and disappointment as well as sadness. The cliffhanger was gripping and held you in suspense that waiting until the next book was released was almost too much. I’m so glad I waited to read this series until the majority of the books were released. Katie May and Quinn Arthur’s are wonderful writers and I’m looking forward to reading more from both of them.

I don’t mind a cliffhanger,
Format: Kindle
but I dropped at least one star because of the obnoxious gloating of the author after the cliffhanger. Seriously - I don’t understand making your readers angry because you’re smug and expecting them to keep reading your books. I was very definitely enjoying the series. Now I have a bad taste in my mouth and mixed feelings about continuing the series.

The series as a whole so far 5/25
Format: Kindle
I read reviews before going into this book and I don't agree with one of the more harsh ones on the main trigger she had. It is stated clearly in the forward and it wasn't as blase as it was made out to be. It definitely is touched on more and hasn't just been brushed off as the series goes I definitely would recommend reading it. It's a good series just be for-warned I like the series as a whole. The characters are awesome I adore the fmc shes cute and adorable but also a badass. Though there are a bunch of holes for her that I feel like just got left out. The guys are interesting and shout out to yall for not making Gage a dragon. I'm tired of the broody ones who don't wanna talk aboit what they are being Dragons. Ki is my favorite You can definitely tell if is written by 2 different people though because the phrasing just doesn't match up and wouldn't be something people that age says. And it flip flops between them. I feel like there's substance without substance. We are 4 books in and we don't really know much back story on literally anyone more than right under surface deep. There are definitely favorite MMCs which is kind of disappointing since some get shoved to the wayside. Specifically both of the best friends. They're basically useless and it's made obvious as the books go on. As well as all the men are ungodly self deprecating. I enjoy the plot line for the most part like I said I enjoy the series its different and refreshing. I do feel like the series is being dragged out though unfortunately. And the latest cliff hanger was just meh. So hopefully the next book is the last one.

Wow!
Format: Kindle
This book was awesome! Seraphina and her family have moved to a new town. Her family is a bit... odd. She grew up learning how to protect herself from people who might hurt her. Bloodshed is a daily occurrence with her brothers and parents during their practice sessions, and it’s all fun and games unless you need to hide a body. Sera’s family is very close, and she’s been homeschooled most of her life. But in this new town she is going to start regular school as a senior at the local high school. Unfortunately, things at her school aren’t all they seem to be. Or perhaps more than they seem to be. Sera has her own demons to deal with, and she’s terrified her new friends will learn about her weird family and other issues and drop her like a rock. It turns out they have their own secrets as well. This story ends on a bit of a cliffhanger and I can’t wait to read the next one! This book is well written and well edited. The heroine is spunky and has a great heart and wicked sense of humor.
