Ficus microcarpa is cultivated as an ornamental tree for planting in gardens, parks, and in containers as an indoor plant and bonsai specimen.
In Southeast Asia, it is cultivated as a shade tree because of its dense foliage.
Its ability to produce discards also makes it easy to drive in hedge or bush.

As a tropical and subtropical tree, it is suitable for temperatures above 20°C all year long, which explains why it is generally sold as a houseplant.
It can, however, withstand relatively low temperatures, suffering damage only below 0°C.
High humidity (70% - 100%) is preferable and seems to favor the development of aerial roots.
The species can be propagated easily by cuttings, either in water or directly in a substrate of sand or potting soil.

Ficus Emerald Green is an Australian cultivar with glossy, green foliage and upright growth habit that can be used in a formal garden setting as a hedgerow.
The cultivar can also be trained to look similar to a 'lollipop' in a container.
