Ficus Benjamina Weeping Fig Standard
Best healthy tree for bringing natural elegance indoors.
The Ficus Benjamina, commonly known as the Weeping Fig, is an evergreen tree native to tropical regions. It features glossy, pointed leaves and gracefully arching branches, often with braided trunks for ornamental appeal. This popular houseplant thrives in bright light but can tolerate shade, though it's sensitive to changes and may shed leaves. Water regularly to maintain soil moisture, avoiding complete dryness. While it rarely flowers or fruits indoors, it's valued for its air-purifying qualities. Its milky sap can be irritating to pets and humans. This plant is intolerant of cold and drafts, making it best suited for indoor environments.
