Weeping Fig

The Weeping Fig belongs to the Ficus family, originating from tropical rainforests.  They are known for their ability to live a long life, potentially up to 50 years.

Ficus plants contain latex, a milky sap that oozes out of the glossy leaves and woody stems if they are scratched or cut.  The latex can be irritating to the eyes and skin, so handle the plant carefully and wash your hands thoroughly if you do touch any of the sap.

Water when top 3-4cm of soil becomes dry.

Feed every 4 weeks from spring to early autumn with a nitrogen based fertiliser.

Bright, indirect light

Ficus Exotica doesn’t like change, so once you find a happy spot keep it put. Excessive leaf drop is often caused by the cold, however expect some leaf drop in the autumn.

The height of the plant is meaured from the bottom of the nursery pot. Diameter is that of the nursery pot.

Each plant is unique and therefore may differ from the images shown. Size and shape may vary, so all height measurements shown are approximate.
