Description
The variegated Ficus benjamina is a popular indoor tropical tree among all skill levels due to its tolerance of multiple growing conditions and because of its ornately colored leaves. These trees are relatively easy to care for and just requires plenty of bright, direct sunlight and moderate watering. Keep your Ficus Benjamina in the same spot in your home because any change in moisture, light, or location will cause the plant to drop some of its leaves to adjust.
* Please note that Ficus Benjamina is prone to substantial leaf drop after the shipping process due to stress. Once the plant has acclimated to its new environment, the leaves will come back, and you will have a happy ficus.
