Weeping Fig (Ficus Benjamina)
An indoor tree with gracefully drooping branches and small glossy leaves that gives living rooms and offices an elegant green touch.
Description
The weeping fig is one of the best-known indoor trees. Its branches droop gracefully and its small, glossy leaves give living rooms and offices the look of a real tree. It likes a bright spot where it can stay put.
Why a weeping fig?
- A classic tree shape that suits modern and traditional interiors.
- Two sizes: for corners, or to anchor a room.
- Stays full for years in one bright spot.
Where to put it
A bright spot near a window, away from direct midday sun. It suits living rooms, majlis, indoor entrances and office corners. Keep it away from AC draughts and outside doors.
Care in the Saudi climate
- Light: bright, indirect; in dim light it drops leaves.
- Water: when the top 2–3 cm of soil are dry; empty the saucer.
- Stability: some leaf drop after delivery is normal; settle it and don't move it around.
- Soil and feeding: well-drained potting mix, and a light balanced feed in spring and summer.
Caution
Ficus benjamina is toxic to cats and dogs, and its milky sap can irritate skin – wear gloves when pruning and keep it away from pets.
Sizes
- 50–60 cm: for office corners and beside the sofa.
- 150–160 cm: a large floor tree for living rooms and entrances.

Three things to get right.
Lighting
Needs bright, indirect light near a window; in dim light it drops leaves.
Watering
Water when the top 2–3 cm are dry, until water drains out, then empty the saucer.
Temperature & humidity
Normal room temperature suits it; cold and draughts from AC and doors upset it.
