☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
The Ficus Benjamina Weeping Fig enjoys a spot with bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch its leaves, while too little light can cause it to lose its lush foliage. A north or east-facing window would be ideal, where it can bask in the gentle morning light.
💧 Water
💧💧▫️ (Medium)
Water your Weeping Fig when the top few centimetres of soil feel dry to the touch. Make sure to water thoroughly, allowing the water to drain completely. Avoid letting the plant sit in water as this can lead to root rot. Consistency is key to keeping your Ficus happy!
🌡️ Temperature
🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average)
Ficus Benjamina thrives in typical indoor temperatures, ideally between 16-24°C. It’s not a fan of cold drafts or sudden temperature changes, so keep it away from open windows and doors during chilly months.
💦 Humidity
💦💦▫️ (Moderate)
This plant enjoys moderate to high humidity, making it a great choice for kitchens and bathrooms. If you’re placing it in a drier room, consider misting the leaves regularly or using a small humidifier to boost the moisture in the air.
🪴 Repotting
Repot your Weeping Fig every 2-3 years or when it seems to be outgrowing its current pot. Use a well-draining houseplant soil mix to ensure proper drainage. Spring or early summer is the best time for repotting as the plant is entering its active growth phase.
🐾 Pet Friendliness
Caution: Ficus Benjamina can be toxic if ingested by pets. Keep it out of reach of curious cats and dogs to prevent any accidental nibbling.
