Ficus Benjamin: An Elegant Classic for a Healthier Home

Ficus Benjamin (Ficus benjamina) is one of the most popular indoor trees. It's low-maintenance, naturally elegant, and complements modern and classic interiors alike. Before we look at the details of growing it, here's the most important thing about how it's delivered.

Tip from Monika: We import this beloved Ficus, approx. 70 cm tall, from trusted growers in Holland to guarantee you premium A1 quality. I always remind customers of one crucial thing – Ficus Benjamin fundamentally cannot tolerate drafts and cold, which it reacts to by immediately dropping its leaves. That's why we deliver our houseplants exclusively in our own climate-controlled Airway vehicles. This gives you complete assurance that the plant won't experience a temperature shock along the way and will reach you or the recipient in top condition.

How to Properly Grow Ficus Benjamin?

This beloved houseplant is very drought-resistant (it survives the occasional forgetting) and is thus ideal for beginners. Just follow a few simple rules:

• Placement: Choose one stable, bright spot for it. Protect it from direct sun, though, which would burn its leaves.

• Watering: Water lightly. Always let the substrate dry out slightly before the next watering. Definitely avoid overwatering, i.e. standing water at the roots.

• Air humidity: It really appreciates regular misting of the leaves with settled water, especially in winter during heating season.

• Pruning: In spring or summer you can trim it lightly and remove dry or overgrown branches to keep the tree's shape nicely full.
