Benjamina Fig Tree

From the same family as the fiddle leaf fig, this Straight Tall Benjamina Tree is loved for its softly weeping leaves that form a generous, elegant crown. Its clean, upright stem gives it a refined, architectural presence—perfect for adding height and calm greenery to premium interiors.

Best space & place
This ficus thrives in bright, indirect light and adapts well to most rooms in the home or office. It prefers a stable environment with a minimum temperature of 12°C. Avoid cold draughts or frequent repositioning, as these can encourage leaf drop.

When to water & feed
Allow the top two inches of compost to dry out between waterings. During the growing season, apply a general-purpose houseplant feed throughout the summer months. Reduce watering in winter, keeping the soil just lightly moist.

Need to know
Occasional misting helps remove dust, improves light absorption and keeps the leaves looking beautifully glossy. Some leaf drop can occur while the plant settles into a new environment, but this is temporary and fresh growth will soon follow.

Pollutant Absorption Credentials
The Weeping Fig is recognised for helping to remove airborne pollutants such as formaldehyde and xylene—commonly released by building materials, synthetic fabrics, paints and varnishes—making it an excellent choice for recently redecorated spaces.
