The Ficus Mariana is a scarce, medium-sized plant and can be found only near volcanoes. It blooms in early spring. It has thin, lobed leaves, which are usually olive-green. It also grows quite small flowers, which can be silver, purple, dark purple and brown. These plants grow alone, but within a decent distance from each other, but it's no trouble to control and maintain their growth. They have no real use. As a defense mechanism the Ficus Mariana grows small thorns. They rely on water currents to carry their seeds away to reproduce. Once pollinated, they grow small, inedible nuts.
