What You’ll Receive

Natural variations in height, shape, leaf color, branching, and fullness are normal for living plants. The plant you receive will be similar to, but not exactly the same as, the plants shown in the photos.

Optional decorative planter

The black BASEL 10.6-inch planter shown in a styled photo is sold separately and is not included with the Ficus.

Care guide

  • Light: Provide bright, filtered light or partial sun. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
  • Water: Water thoroughly when the top 1–2 inches of soil begin to feel dry, then allow excess water to drain. Keep the root ball from becoming completely dry, but do not leave the soil soggy or the pot standing in water. Consistent watering is important because sudden changes can cause leaf drop.
  • Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix. Ready to repot? Shop our Rich Houseplant Soil Blend, hand-blended in small batches and sold separately.
  • Temperature: Keep between 60 and 90°F. Protect the plant from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
  • Humidity: Humidity above 45% is beneficial. A humidifier can help in dry indoor environments.
  • Feeding: Use a slow-release fertilizer during active spring and summer growth according to its label directions. Ready to feed? Shop our 2 oz Slow-Release Fertilizer for Houseplants & Succulents for steady nutrition for potted houseplants, sold separately. Skip feeding while growth is paused or during extreme heat or cold.
  • Pruning: Prune as needed to maintain its shape and remove dead or damaged branches. Late winter or early spring is ideal. Wear gloves to avoid contact with the sap.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots crowd the container, using a pot only slightly larger with drainage holes and fresh well-draining mix. Keep the original planting depth and handle the root ball gently to minimize disturbance.
  • Propagation: Propagate from stem cuttings rooted in water or moist soil.

Pet & Child Safety

Ficus Benjamina contains a milky sap that is toxic if ingested by pets or people and can irritate skin on contact. Keep it out of reach of pets and children, and consider wearing gloves when pruning or handling cuttings.
