Tree Ficus Benjamina, Type 8B, Cage Shape, 10LP, 1.5-1.8M

Tree Ficus Benjamina, Type 8B, Cage Shape, 10LP, 1.5-1.8M Ficus benjamina, commonly known as the Weeping Fig, is a popular indoor plant appreciated for its elegant, arching branches and glossy, green leaves. As an indoor plant, it is well-suited for homes and offices, where it adds a touch of greenery and can grow to a moderate size. Native to tropical and subtropical regions, Ficus benjamina can be a bit finicky about its environment but thrives when given proper care. Key Features:Growth Habit: Indoors, Ficus benjamina can grow up to 3 meters (10 feet) tall, though it is often kept smaller through pruning. It has a graceful, weeping growth habit, with branches that droop slightly.Leaves: Glossy, oval, and pointed leaves, typically around 5-10 cm (2-4 inches) long. The leaves may be solid green, but variegated varieties with white or yellow markings are also popular.Trunk: As the plant matures, the trunk thickens and can develop a braided or twisted appearance, especially in cultivated varieties.Indoor Growing Conditions:Light: Ficus benjamina prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sunlight. However, avoid placing it in low-light areas, as this can cause leaf drop. A location near a window with filtered light is ideal.Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, preferably one designed for indoor plants or mixed with some sand or perlite for extra drainage. Good aeration in the soil prevents root rot.Watering: Water moderately, allowing the top 2-3 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, while underwatering may cause the plant to drop its leaves.Temperature: Thrives in normal indoor temperatures of 60-75°F (16-24°C). Ficus benjamina does not tolerate cold drafts or sudden temperature changes, which can cause stress and leaf drop.Humidity: Prefers moderate humidity. If the air is too dry, especially in winter, consider misting the leaves or using a humidifier to prevent leaf drop.Care and Maintenance:Pruning: Regular pruning helps control the plant's size and shape. Prune in spring or early summer to remove leggy or dead branches. You can also prune for a more bushy or compact growth habit.Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce or stop fertilizing in the fall and winter when the plant's growth slows.Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years, or when the roots outgrow the pot. Choose a container that is 1-2 inches larger in diameter than the current one and ensure good drainage. *Disclaimer: The graphic is just meant to be used as a guide and illustration purposes.
