Ficus Benjamina Weeping Fig 8”

Ficus benjamina, commonly known as the Weeping Fig, is a timeless, elegant houseplant with slender branches that arch gracefully and are covered in glossy, pointed leaves. Native to Southeast Asia and Australia, it's often grown as a small indoor tree and adds a touch of natural sophistication to any room. For best results, place your Weeping Fig near a bright, east- or south-facing window with indirect light. It can tolerate some direct morning sun, but harsh afternoon rays can scorch its leaves.

This plant is known to be a bit temperamental, especially when it comes to changes in environment or care routine. It prefers consistent warmth, average humidity, and a steady watering schedule. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, but don’t let it sit in soggy soil—good drainage is key. It may drop leaves when moved, exposed to drafts, or if watering habits shift too drastically, but with patience, it will adjust and bounce back.

Ficus benjamina is an excellent choice for anyone looking to add structure and greenery to a space—especially in living rooms, offices, or corners that could use vertical interest. With time and proper care, it can grow into a striking, tree-like focal point. Its weeping form and rich foliage make it a beautiful living sculpture that suits both modern and classic interiors.
