Ficus Benjamina Variegata aka Weeping Fig Plant - 6” Pot

Ficus benjamina variegata, also known as Weeping Fig, is a popular plant species native to Southeast Asia and Australia. It is a member of the Moraceae family, which also includes other popular houseplants such as rubber plants and fig trees.

The Weeping Fig plant has oval-shaped leaves that are green with creamy white or yellow variegation. The leaves are densely packed on the branches, creating a dense and bushy appearance. The plant can grow up to 50 feet tall in its natural habitat, but is commonly grown as a houseplant and kept at a more manageable size.

This plant is relatively easy to care for and can be grown in bright, indirect light or partial shade. It prefers well-draining soil and should be watered regularly to keep the soil consistently moist. The plant should be fertilized regularly with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season.

Propagation of the Weeping Fig can be done through stem cuttings or air layering. The plant is often used as a decorative accent in pots or containers, where it can add a lush and tropical element to any indoor space. It can also be used as a hedging plant in tropical gardens or planted along a fence or wall to add privacy and visual interest. The Weeping Fig plant is a popular choice for those who enjoy large, dramatic houseplants.
