Ficus Benjamina (Weeping Fig)

Overview
Ficus Benjamina (Weeping Fig) is a popular indoor tree known for its graceful branching and dense, glossy foliage. It’s commonly used in offices and commercial interiors to add height, soften corners, and create a classic “indoor tree” look.

Appearance
Typically styled as a single-trunk or multi-stem floor plant, with a full canopy of small, shiny leaves. Can be maintained in a neat tree form with occasional pruning.

Light
Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate medium light, but grows more slowly and may thin over time. Avoid frequent location changes—this plant does best when left in a stable spot.

Water
Water when the top of the soil begins to dry. Do not let the plant sit in standing water. Water needs are usually lower in winter.

Care Notes
Ficus can drop leaves if stressed by changes in light, temperature, drafts, or watering routine. With consistency, it becomes a long-lasting and reliable interior specimen.

Best Uses

  • Corners and entryways

  • Reception areas and open office spaces

  • Adding height and greenery without a large footprint

Pet Note
Sap may be irritating and is considered toxic if ingested by pets.
