Dwarf Weeping Fig Tree
Ficus Benjamina 'Natasha'
Air Purifying
Medium Care
Beautiful ornamental look and air purifying abilities!
Hailed for its head of glossy, vibrant green foliage, this plant will add a unique, contemporary feel to your home.
The Weeping Fig Tree is very easy to care for, just make sure you think carefully about where you want to house your plant, as they don't like to be moved around a lot. We would recommend a bright spot away from direct sunlight, radiators and draughts. Water whenever the surface of the soil starts to dry out and never let your plant dry out completely. Mist the leaves from time to time (especially in the summer months).
If your Ficus natasha begins to lose its leaves this may be a sign of underwatering., pop your plant in the bath or shower and give it a good soak, just make sure the water has drained before returning it to its decorative pot.
How to Care for the Dwarf Weeping Fig Tree
- Weeping Fig Trees will grow well in average home temperatures, 16 to 24 ºC are ideal. Avoid draughts.
- Bright light is also important but avoid direct sunlight, a partially shaded spot is perfect!
- Allow the top few inches of soil to dry between waterings. Use tepid filtered or distilled water. Be careful to not overwater it.
- Mist the leaves often in the warmer months to keep humidity.
- Weeping Trees don’t like to be disturbed and luckily don’t need to be repotted as often as other plants.
- Keep the plant in a fast-draining soil mix.
- Fertilise it once a month during the growing season with slow-releasing pallets.
- Remove old and drying leaves. You can prune it if you want to keep it compact. Best to prune it in the summer.
