About Ficus Black Plant (Ficus benjamina)
Ficus Black, a form of the Weeping Fig, is one of the most popular houseplants worldwide thanks to its tree-like shape and dense, glossy dark foliage. It works equally well as a large statement indoor tree or, with pruning, a compact tabletop plant.
Growing Conditions
- Light: A bright room with some direct morning sun; good light indoors keeps it full and healthy.
- Soil: Any good, fast-draining potting soil.
- Humidity: Appreciates moderate humidity.
Placement
Makes an excellent corner plant or "indoor tree" for entryways and living rooms. Ficus dislikes being moved, so choose a permanent spot with steady light and stick with it.
Care
- Watering: Keep steadily moist, but don't let it sit in water - Ficus is sensitive to changes in its watering routine and may drop leaves if conditions shift suddenly.
- Fertilizer: A heavy feeder - fertilize regularly through the growing season.
- Repotting: A fast grower; may need repotting or root attention annually.
- Pruning: Prune to shape and remove dead branches; pick off dead leaves promptly to prevent disease spread.
Note: This listing ships a young potted plant. Growth rate and mature size vary by light, care, and environment. Sap can cause mild skin irritation; mildly toxic to pets if ingested (can cause GI upset) - keep away from pets that chew leaves.
