Ficus

Ficus is a genus of about 850 species of woody trees, shrubs, vines, epiphytes and hemiepiphytes in the family Moraceae. Collectively known as fig trees or figs, they are native throughout the tropics with a few species extending into the semi-warm temperate zone

Although there are many types of ficus, they all have similar light requirements. Ficus does best when it gets some light during the day. Full sun all day isn't good for the tree; neither is full shade. A location that gets good morning sun, such as an east facing window, is ideal for many ficus.
