Ficus benjamina Green Kinky "Weeping Fig"

Ficus benjamina 'Green Kinky', commonly known as the Weeping Fig, is a popular indoor plant known for its compact size and attractive, glossy green leaves. It is a dwarf variety of the Ficus benjamina, making it ideal for small spaces and indoor environments.

• Light: Ficus benjamina 'Green Kinky' prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially in the morning or late afternoon, but avoid prolonged exposure to harsh midday sun, which can scorch the leaves. It can also adapt to lower light conditions but may grow more slowly.

• Watering: Water the plant thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. Ensure that the pot has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in the winter when the plant’s growth slows. Overwatering is a common issue, so it's better to err on the side of slightly underwatering.

• Fertilization: Feed the plant with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring through summer). Reduce fertilization in the fall and winter when the plant is not actively growing.

• Pruning: Prune the plant to maintain its shape and size. Regular pruning can help encourage bushier growth and remove any dead or yellowing leaves. Pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

• Leaf Drop: Ficus plants are known to drop leaves when stressed, which can be caused by changes in light, temperature, or watering habits. If this happens, try to identify and correct the issue, and the plant should recover.
• Toxicity: Ficus benjamina is toxic to pets if ingested, so keep it out of reach of cats, dogs, and other animals.
