Ficus 'Breeze' - 6" Pot - Cool Breeze: Elegant Air-Purifying Indoor Houseplant

Ready to add a touch of breezy elegance to your indoor jungle? Enter the Cool Breeze! The Ficus 'Breeze', aka Weeping Fig or Benjamin Tree, is your go-to companion for a stylish and sophisticated ambiance. Native to the lush tropical forests of Asia and Australia, this green gem boasts gracefully drooping branchlets and glossy leaves sprinkled with hints of yellow. Imagine having an exotic, stately tree just hanging out in your living room—but remember, no need for a chainsaw! Pruning will help keep this beauty at a manageable indoor size. Bonus: it’s also an air-purifying wizard. But a fair warning to our friends with allergies (and pet parents)—tread carefully with this latex-rich love.

Benefits:

• Air-Purifying: Absorbs common household toxins like formaldehyde and xylene.

• Easy Maintenance: Thrives in a variety of indoor conditions, making it a forgiving plant.
• Large Range of Environments: Adaptable to different light conditions.

Care Instructions:

Your Cool Breeze loves bright, indirect light. Place it near a window, but avoid direct sunshine as it may scorch those lovely leaves. Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged—think of it as a Goldilocks plant, not too wet, not too dry. And while it enjoys humidity, regular misting or a pebble tray will make it feel right at home. Add a balanced liquid fertilizer monthly during the growing season, and remember to prune back those enthusiastic branches to maintain its shape.
