Ficus benjamina, also known as the weeping fig or Benjamin fig, is a popular indoor tree that is native to Southeast Asia and Australia. It is a member of the fig family (Moraceae) and is widely cultivated for its ornamental value.

The weeping fig is a slow-growing, evergreen tree that can reach up to 30-40 feet in height in the wild, but is usually smaller when grown indoors as a houseplant. It has slender branches that are densely covered with glossy, dark green leaves that are 2-5 inches long and taper to a point.

• Lighting: Your Ficus thrives in medium to bright indirect light and can tolerate soft morning direct light. Plants that do not receive sufficient light will lose their lower leaves.
• Watering: Benjamina likes to be steadily moist but like most plants do not want to be sitting in water. If your plant is sitting in the water this may cause the roots to rot. In some cases, this plant can be sensitive to change in moisture, be sure to keep your watering schedule consistent.
