| For true plant aficionados, grow a small tree, such as a ficus, on your deck. |
| The ficus would thrive during the warm months on the patio in filtered morning sun, but I suspect summer afternoon sun would be too intense. |
| Slim, arboreal columns and roof beams allude to the ficus trees that run along the western boundary of the site. |
| At least now my ficus is looking very handsome in his glazed ceramic pot, and with a bit of rearranging all my books are on shelves, somehow. |
| Consider reworking the roots and continuing to grow the ficus in pots. |
| The philodendrons, the ficus, and the Swedish ivy in their terra-cotta planters had wilted. |
