Chinese Banyan (Ficus microcarpa) 🌳✨

Known for its elegant, twisted trunks and graceful canopy, the Chinese Banyan is a statement plant that brings architectural beauty indoors. Native to China and across tropical Asia, this fig is admired for its sculptural roots and timeless form — a classic tree reimagined as a houseplant.
