🌿 For Houseplants
When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
Please remove your plants from their packaging as soon as possible and review the care instructions included with your order. Water based on your plant’s needs, making sure not to overwater.
Houseplants may need a short adjustment period after arrival. Give your plant time to acclimate to its new space before placing it with other plants. You can gently clean the leaves if needed, and wait to fertilize until it has settled in. Always check soil moisture instead of watering on a fixed schedule.
*** We pack carefully to protect each plant during transit, so larger orders may arrive in multiple packages.

Ficus benjamina, or Weeping fig, is a classic, elegant tropical tree with arching branches and a dense canopy of glossy, pointed leaves. Native to Southeast Asia and northern Australia, this member of the Moraceae family is beloved both as a dramatic indoor specimen and as an outdoor ornamental tree in warm climates. Its natural habit features slender, drooping branches that create a cascading, graceful silhouette, earning it the common name "Weeping Fig." When grown indoors, it brings a refined, sophisticated presence, often becoming a focal point in lobbies, homes, and conservatories.
The small, oval-shaped leaves of Ficus benjamina are typically bright green but can also be found in variegated forms featuring white or yellow margins. As a houseplant, it usually reaches a manageable height of 5 to 8 feet, although in nature it can grow into a massive tree exceeding 50 feet tall. Its growth indoors is slow to moderate, and with proper conditions, it can be maintained for decades. The tree can be shaped easily through pruning, allowing growers to maintain either a compact bushy form or a taller, more open structure.
Compared to other Ficus species like Ficus elastica (Rubber Plant) or Ficus lyrata (Fiddle Leaf Fig), the Weeping Fig is more delicate and sensitive to changes in light, humidity, and watering routines. It is well-known for shedding leaves when stressed, especially after being moved or exposed to sudden changes in temperature or moisture. However, once acclimated to a stable environment, it is remarkably resilient and offers lush, year-round greenery.
Weeping fig is a very efffective in filtering indoor air pollutants like formaldehyde, xylene, and toluene. It remains a timeless favorite for its classic beauty, manageable indoor size, and the calming, forest-like atmosphere it creates.
Prefers bright, indirect light, although it can adapt to medium light once acclimated. Avoid direct afternoon sun, which can scorch its sensitive leaves.
Ficus benjamina is toxic if ingested by pets and humans, causing gastrointestinal irritation. Keep out of reach of animals and children.
