An attractive plant with lush glossy dark green foliage and an open habit can be grown as a potted plant indoors or in landscaping in similar way as a ficus.

Grow notes:
Although seed can be sown most of the year in many parts of Australia seed is generally best sown in spring or autumn, avoid the coldest and hottest months of the year. The optimum germination temperature for germination is around 24-27°C
* Humidity can be maintained by covering the container with a plastic bag
General note: Seeds of many natives are dormant and require specific conditions or pre-treatment for germination.
Do not be too hasty to discard seed that does not germinate, seeds will often lay dormant until the conditions are similar to their natural requirements for germination to occur. Containers put to one side will often surprise long after they were discarded.
