Did you know?

If you encountered Ficus benjamina in the wild, mostly in Asia or Australia, you could expect it to be as tall as 30 metres, bearing it's orange-red fruit! However, the indoor version is much smaller and won't bear fruit.

Watering

Dependent on home conditions, pot size and season. In the winter, water when soil is completely dry, being vigilant in the summer to water when soil is almost dry.

Lighting

Somewhere bright but away from direct sun is ideal. If it drops leaves, it probably needs more light.
