Description

The Weeping Fig, also known as Ficus benjamina, boasts a notable thick trunk wrapped in jute, which is a spread of thread-like fibre.

The glossy green foliage looks bushy, healthy, and overall remarkable. Over time, the slender branches begin to elegantly weep, softening the overall look of the plant and providing a first-class talking point to your home.

Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure this is a proven performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore grow this with confidence, for stunning displays for many years to come.

Very easy to care for, once you have found the perfect place for your Ficus, you can more or less leave it alone and let it do its 'thing' as long as it's kept away from draughts.

Top Tips
Once it has found the right place, don't move your fig around as it dislikes disturbance.
Care Information
  • Find a bright spot away from direct sunlight, not close to a radiator or other heat source, and away from draughts.
  • Water with tepid water when the soil is just starting to dry out on the surface, but don't let it dry out completely - during the winter you can reduce watering.
  • Mist the leaves in the summer months, and feed with a liquid fertiliser during the growing season.
  • If your Ficus benjamina begins to lose its leaves it may be too dry or in a draught. Plunge the pot into a bucket of water for an hour to let it soak and then move in front of a light window.
Delivery Information

Our experienced team at the nursery will always carefully package and send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive once you receive and plant them. Although most plants are extremely tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme of weather conditions, we always avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme frosts or heat is forecast. We also avoid dispatching orders over Bank Holiday weekends.

If you have ordered a 'pre-order' item, these will be sent out as soon as possible after the quoted dispatch date and we generally ship your entire order with any pre-ordered items. Once your order has been dispatched, we will send you an email with details on how you can track it.

We send most of our orders via a fully tracked courier service with Yodel. We will send you a tracking link as soon as your order has been dispatched. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, we will not require a signature on delivery, and we ask out couriers to leave your item in a safe place ad your delivery address.

If you have delivery instruction and require our courier to leave your item in a specific place, please let us know - there is an option to leave a message for the courier at the checkout.

For smaller and single-item orders, we may send these via the post with Royal Mail - Tracking will not be available for orders sent via this method.
