Ficus benjamina Care Guide

  • Light: Give your Ficus benjamina the spotlight it deserves with bright, indirect light. Dim lighting is a no-go, as it can lead to rapid deterioration.
  • Water: Keep the soil evenly moist, but beware of overwatering. Strike the right balance to maintain optimal health.
  • Humidity: Create a tropical haven for your ficus by providing a high-humidity environment.
  • Temperature: Keep the surroundings at a cozy 65-75°F to mimic its native habitat.
  • Pruning: Nurture its growth by pruning as needed. This not only controls growth but also removes brown or dead leaves, ensuring a vibrant appearance.
  • Feeding: Treat your Ficus to a bi-weekly feast of a weak green plant liquid solution during the spring and summer months. Watch it flourish under your care.
  • Propagation: Explore the art of propagation with stem or leaf cuttings and air layering, allowing you to expand your green collection.
  • Pests: Keep a watchful eye, as Ficus is susceptible to common pests. Early detection ensures a pest-free haven for your plant.
  • Toxicity: While ficus are captivating, it's essential to note that they are highly toxic to both humans and pets. Handle with care and place them strategically in your space.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Shipping

    How do you ship your plants?

    We carefully package each plant with love by hand right from our shop in Brooklyn. Extra steps are taken to ensure that every leaf arrives in pristine shape by using polyfill and encapsulating the plant in a protective paper sleeve. The soil is also hydrated before shipping so that the plant has plenty of water for it's travel to your doorstep. We offer several shipping speeds, so please choose the one that you feel comfortable with depending on your location. 

    Will my plant look like the one on the website?

    Awesome question, we're glad you asked. Given the nature of our plant shop, we're constantly moving plants in and out of the shop, making it difficult and borderline impossible to keep an exact picture of each plant. In addition to the constantly rotating crop, we often grow in batches of 6, 12, or sometimes more! With this quantity we are unable to take a photo of each and every plant. The photos that we attach to each product listing is going to be of a plant that represents the average size and fullness of that set of plants. Some may be slightly larger or smaller, but in general, similar.

    Do you include heat packs with your plants?

    We offer Heat Packs for sale separately from the plants in 40, 60 and 72 hour increments. Please add a heat pack or two to your order if you live in an area where your order may be affected during transit by cold temperatures. We are not responsible for orders that are placed and damage is incurred to the plant if a heat pack is not purchased.

    Which heat pack should I choose?

    Heat packs come in three different increments, so please choose the appropriate hour increment depending on the speed of shipping that you choose during checkout. For example, if you choose a cheaper shipping option that will take longer, please select the 72 hour heat pack. If you've chosen a shorter method of shipping, the 40 or 60 hour increment would work! We like to encourage our customers to always get more than you need, just to be on the safe side!
