We love the Ficus benjamina, more commonly known as the Weeping fig. A vibrant, sensual houseplant with a mass of deep green glossy leaves that will immediately warm your space and your heart! Not quite a beginner plant, you'll need to provide plenty of bright light, a warm room and above average humidity levels and of course never over-water. Enjoy!

Origin
Native to South East Asia and Australia.
Positioning + Light Needs
A lot of bright, natural light avoiding direct sun is perfect. Can tolerate partial shade if needs be.
Watering
Make sure to water little but often, keeping the soil moist without ever over-watering.
Misting
Mist me every other day or so, I enjoy 
above average humidity levels and don't like too dry an atmosphere. Keep up in the Winter months when the heating kicks in also.
Feeding
Slow growing, so feed me once a month every Spring and Summer with diluted liquid fertiliser.
Re-potting
As a rule, I do not like to be disturbed! I'm a slow grower, so only re-pot when necessary, which could be every couple of years when growing in height and spread.
Child / Pet Friendly
Nope. As Britney once sang, "don't you know that I'm toxic."
Air Purifying
Oh yes, expert in this field.
Look out for
Leaf drop: Please note that a little leaf drop throughout the year is normal. It can also occur due to changes in temperature or placement, so for instance do expect a little on arrival in your home!
Dry, crisping leaves: the tree could be under watered. Add enough water that can seep from the top soil to the drainage holes, at the bottom of the container and remove the left over water to allow enough oxygen to the plant roots.
Folding leaves: the problem could be over-watering.
Brown leaf tips: most likely too low humidity.

Our size guide applies to both plants and planters.
The diameter range for each is based on the following:
Plants: the total nursery pot diameter (exterior measurement)
Planters: the opening diameter (interior measurement)

GOLDEN RULES
Plants: The stated height for any given plant is from the ground up, so will always include the nursery pot.
Plant & Planter Fit: To find a planter for your chosen plant, start with the corresponding size category, e.g. plant size S - go to Small (S) planters.  
Example 1
your chosen plant size states M | 60 | 21. This is a Medium size (M) with a height of 60cm and a nursery pot diameter of 21cm.
Go to Planters size category: Medium [21 - 29cm].
You will need a minimum planter opening diameter size of 22cm.
Example 2: your chosen plant has a nursery pot diameter of 29cm. Though this falls within our Medium range (21-29cm), you will need to look at 30cm + planters - taking you into the Large Planters category [30 - 39cm].
