Ficus benjamina Danielle is a graceful Weeping Fig with rich, dark green leaves. It is perfect for a corner in the home or office. This simple houseplant will give you lovely, dense foliage and air-purifying, indoor greenery.

Light

Ficus benjamina Danielle prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some light shade. Direct sunlight may scorch the leaves.

Watering

Water when the soil starts to become slightly dry at the top. Keep the soil lightly moist at all times, but do not overwater as this will cause leaf drop.

The Weeping Fig does well in normal household temperatures but prefers slightly warmer conditions: between 16-24°C. Avoid cold draughts.

Humidity

This plant has no specific humidity requirements, although your Weeping Fig might benefit from the occasional misting or relocation to a steamier room.

Feed

Apply a weak dose of a fertiliser once or twice a month during the growing season.
