<p><i>Ficus fulva</i> can be commonly spotted in secondary forests reaching heights of up to 20 meters, often thriving alongside roads in moist regions. In terms of physical appearance, <i>Ficus fulva</i> bears a striking resemblance to <i>Ficus aurata</i>. However, the key distinguishing factor between the two lies in their preferred habitats, with <i>Ficus aurata</i> thriving in drier, more open locations like cultivated areas and the fringes of towns.</p>
