Ficus adhatodifolia

Ficus adhatodifolia is a South American fig of Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia and northeastern Argentina, well represented by 675 wild records mostly below 600 m. Little is published about its ecology in the sources reachable here, so its needs are inferred from the measured climate: warm, wet summers and a cooler, drier winter. Grow it as a bright-light warm-temperate to subtropical tree in a large container.

Where it grows wild

Records spread across seasonal forest, riverside forest and forest remnants of interior Brazil and eastern Paraguay. The sources consulted do not describe its habit; the genus here is mostly free-standing trees and hemiepiphytes, so treat it as a tree that starts in partial shade and grows into the light.

GBIF records span 0–1,170 m, with a median of 322 m (305 records).
