Thompson and Morgan Ficus Benjamina Variegated Weeping Fig Plant Pot 12cm 2 Pack

Transform your indoor space with the timeless elegance of Ficus benjamina, commonly known as the Weeping Fig. This graceful houseplant features gently cascading branches adorned with glossy, dark green leaves that add a touch of sophistication to any room. Slow-growing and easily managed, Ficus benjamina develops into an impressive upright tree over the years, making it a perfect choice for creating a serene atmosphere in your home or office. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this plant is renowned for its air-purifying qualities, effectively removing toxins from indoor environments to enhance overall air quality. To ensure optimal growth, place your Ficus benjamina in a bright room away from cold drafts and radiators, maintaining a consistent temperature between 16°C (60°F) and 24°C (75°F). While it prefers bright, indirect light, it can tolerate some shade, making it versatile for various indoor settings. Water regularly from spring to autumn, using tepid rainwater if possible, and allow the pot to drain thoroughly after each watering. Reduce watering in winter, but ensure the soil remains lightly moist. Feed your Weeping Fig monthly with a balanced houseplant fertiliser during the growing season from March to September to support healthy foliage. Enhance humidity by placing the plant on a tray filled with pebbles and water, ensuring the water level is below the pot's base to avoid root rot. Remove older leaves as needed to maintain a tidy appearance, and prune in autumn or winter to shape the plant. Images shown are for guidance only and depict the expected mature form of the plant.
