Ficus benjamina (Weeping Fig)

Ficus benjamina, or as it is more commonly known, Weeping Fig, grows as an evergreen tree in tropical and subtropical regions. However, it is commonly used as a houseplant and in commercial interiors with bright, filtered sunlight and well-draining potting soil. This tree is well-known for its long lifespan of 20 to 50 years. Keep in mind that Weeping Figs can be toxic to pets.

When cultivating the Weeping Fig indoors, ensure it receives proper care for optimal growth. Use a spacious container with soil-based potting mix and place it in a location with bright, indirect light. During the growing season, water regularly, but allow for drying from fall to late winter. To maintain a higher level of humidity, use a humidifier and mist the leaves.
