Gently weeping branches and handsome, glossy foliage make Ficus benjamina an elegant specimen tree for your home. Weeping Figs are slow growing and manageable making an impressive, upright house plant over many years, without ever getting out of hand! Enjoying a bright position, warm position, they make a wonderful choice for a well-lit living area or office space, creating a calming focal point. It’s not just a pretty face either – this foliage plant is also particularly good at removing toxins and improving air quality within your home. Height: 300cm (118"). Spread: 150cm (59").

Although quite easy to grow, Ficus benjamina needs careful placement if it is to thrive. Weeping Figs dislike being moved and tend to shed their leaves if repositioned, so it is worth taking care to find the right spot, with plenty of room to grow, from the outset. Position in a bright room, away from cold draughts and radiators, with a constant temperature of between 16C (60F) and 24C (75F). Ideally Weeping Figs should receive a good balance of sun and shade, but avoid the direct glare of the sun.
More Info Water regularly between spring and autumn using tepid rainwater where possible, and allowing the pot to drain well after each watering. In winter, reduce watering but do not allow the compost to dry out completely. House plants should be fed regularly between March and September when they are in active growth. Weeping Fig appreciates a humid atmosphere - stand it on a tray filled with pebbles and water. As the water evaporates it will increase humidity around the plant. The oldest leaves of Ficus benjamina will naturally die off as the plant grows. These should be carefully removed, to maintain a tidy appearance. Any necessary pruning should be undertaken between in autumn or winter. Avoid moving Weeping Fig plants unless entirely necessary.
Caution Caution: irritant to skin and eyes
