Features
This is an elegant, easy to grow fig that can take the form of a small tree or a multi-stemmed, bushy plant. Slender, arching branches carry the shiny, dark green leaves. The plant needs bright light. Placing it right in front of an east-facing or west-facing window is ideal. Southern exposure if also great. The plain old Ficus benjamina is very prone to dropping leaves when the plant is moved to a new location, but Danielle has been developed to minimize this defect!

- Protect furniture when watering.
- Feed once per month at half strength when plant is actively growing.
- This plant loves warm temperatures above 60 degrees, so be sure not to place it near a door or vent that will let in cold air. Average room temperature is just right. If you are comfortable, then your weeping fig will be too.
- Allow the top inch or so of the soil to dry out before watering again.
- Add some perlite and/or orchid bark to an all-purpose potting mix for a great growing medium.
- Younger plants will grow fairly quickly and may need to be repotted every 1-2 years.
