Ficus Benjamina 'Starlight' | Weeping fig

An undeniable classic among houseplants! With its graceful, drooping branches and dense foliage of small, shiny leaves, Ficus benjamina brings natural elegance and a beautiful presence to any space. Available in green or variegated versions, it's a plant that grows with you and can become a true indoor tree over time. 🌳

Care:

• Light: Bright, indirect light. Tolerates some direct morning sun, but avoid intense afternoon rays.
• Watering: Allow the topsoil (about 2-3 cm) to dry out between waterings. Sensitive to both overwatering and prolonged drought.
• Humidity: Appreciates a slightly humid environment.
• Temperature: Between 16°C and 24°C. Very sensitive to cold drafts and sudden changes — this can cause significant leaf loss.
• Soil: Well-drained potting mix.
• Fertilization: Balanced fertilizer in spring and summer, about once a month.
• Repotting: Approximately every 2 years, or when roots are crowded.
• Location: Avoid moving the plant too often — Ficus benjamina dislikes change and may react by dropping its leaves.
• Toxicity: Sap can irritate skin and is toxic if ingested — keep away from pets and young children.
