**Long-leaf fig** (*Ficus longifolia*): We know all too well about the enduring craze for Fiddle leaf figs, but have you heard of its distant cousin the [long leafed or sabre tooth fig](https://www.homestolove.com.au/long-leaf-fig-the-next-on-trend-indoor-houseplant-5021|target="_blank"). They make great indoor plants and their gum leaf-like appearance makes them the perfect Christmas tree option for Australian homes. Re-pot every year into a larger pot so they grow for another four or more years, or plant in the garden if you have the space.
