Ficus 'Benjamina' - 6" Pot - Tall, Dark, and Handsomely Dapper: Glossy Leaves, Air-Purifying, Easy Care Houseplant

Meet your new tall, dark, and handsomely dapper roomie - the Ficus 'Benjamina'! This graceful beauty, also known as the Weeping Fig, claims its fame with elegantly drooping branchlets and glossy leaves with a snazzy splash of yellow. Although it hails from the lowland tropical forests of Asia and Australia, this adaptable gent can thrive in a variety of environments – making it the ideal apartment dweller. Serving you "tall drink of water" vibes, this Ficus can grow into a grand tree, but for indoor living, a little pruning keeps it handsome and manageable. Beware, though – it's not the best buddy for pets or anyone allergic to latex.

Benefits:

• Air-Purifying: Gets rid of household air toxins like formaldehyde and xylene.
• Elegant Aesthetic: Features glossy leaves that add a touch of sophistication to any room.
• Easy Care: Perfect for plant parents of all levels.
• Versatile Decor: Fits beautifully in living rooms, offices, and more.

Care Instructions:

Give your Tall, Dark, and Handsomely Dapper friend some bright, indirect light—artificial light works too if your apartment is a bit of a dungeon. Keep its soil evenly moist by watering when the top inch feels dry, but avoid turning it into a swamp. Occasional misting helps maintain humidity without being a pest. If he’s looking a bit leggy, don’t be afraid to give him a trim – he can take it.

Décor Tips:

Position your Ficus in a stylish pot to up the ante. Place it in your living room corner or beside a statement chair for instant interior glam. Fancy a leafy divider? Several Ficus 'Benjamina' in row can create a chic, indoor hedge guaranteed to turn heads.

Décor Vibes:

Ideal Spaces:
