Ficus benjamina, commonly known as weeping fig, benjamin fig or ficus tree, and often sold in stores as just ficus, is a species of flowering plant in the family Moraceae, native to Asia and Australia. It is the official tree of Bangkok
Ficus bejamina is native to India, Southeast Asia, Southwest Pacific, and Northern Australia. Great bonsai tree potential. Easy to care for and fast growing. If left to grow naturally, it reaches 40-50 feet tall. This evergreen tree produces good branching characteristics, outer branches tend to be pendulous. The tree trunk is very smooth and lightly pale brownish coloured. Under humid conditions, and as the tree matures, branch-like aerial roots are produced from the branches. Those exposed roots provide character to the tree. The roots of this Ficus form secondary trunks. The Weeping Fig has graceful arching slender branches with pointed, very small, shiny, leathery, dark green leaves. New leaves are very light green in colour. Rarely flowers indoors. Small round axillary fruits in pairs are rarely seen on indoor plants, in large part because of the absence of the necessary pollinating wasps.
Hardiness zones 10-11, (1C,35F/5C,40F) in Winter.
Ficus do well in a well-drained, peat-based potting soil. Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering, they don't like whether dry nor too moisten soil conditions. Reduce watering from Fall to late Winter. This plant may be taken outside in Spring after last frost date and brought back inside in Fall. It may lose leaves if there is too much water or not enough light, but it tends to be very tolerant of adverse conditions. The Ficus is a very versatile plant as far as light goes, full sun or part shade. They resist very high temperatures if the air is not too dry. Great for indoors with low-moderate or high lighting conditions. Favours more light then less.
