Why We Love the Ficus Benjamina

If you like big plants but don’t have lots of space. They grow tall and compact, dense with beautiful glossy leaves.

Ficus Benjamina Care Tips

Regular Watering

They like soil gently moist, but not soggy. Water them when the top two inches of soil are dry.

Humidity

Loves moist air and absorbs a lot of water through the leaves. Frequent misting will keep that greenery healthy.

Medium light

Somewhere bright but away from direct sun is ideal. If they begin to drop leaves, they probably need more light.

About the Ficus Benjamina

If you encountered this plant in the wild, mostly in Asia or Australia, you could expect it to be as tall as 30 metres. Don’t panic that you’re going to need to smash a hole in your roof. Our indoor version is much more compact.

With its abundance of dark green glossy leaves it makes a very stylish houseplant. It’s pretty simple to take care of too. It will tolerate lower light, but prefers bright, indirect light, and just asks that it not be allowed to dry out.

In the wild it will bear small orange-red edible fruit, but don’t expect yours to fruit indoors. Enjoy it for its leafy handsomeness.

Did you know?

The ficus is the official tree of Bangkok. We are not sure what benefits this title affords it, to be honest.
