Ficus benjamina (weeping fig, benjamin fig or ficus tree)

We’re huge fans of the Weeping Fig - it’s got pots of personality! The Ficus Benjamina or as it's more commonly known, the Weeping Fig, is a beautiful, large indoor houseplant that's is easy to care for in the right spot, bright light is essential but otherwise is very simple to look after and it gets more and more beautiful as it grows and wilds naturally into any space. A real show-stopper. 

Here at Happy Houseplants, we sell the impressive and elegant tree form, really a house tree plant!  It is a tall indoor plant, growing to 180cm in the house, with a thick trunk, a very stylish houseplant.  Truly amongst the best of houseplants with its graceful form and attractive bark.

The Weeping Fig tree in its natural rainforest habitat can reach up to 30m tall but we wouldn’t expect that to happen in your house! It originates in the tropical belt of Asia, Malaysia China and Australia.

The Weeping Fig is a statement houseplant - it will inspire thoughts of tropical rainforests and dense undergrowth with tropical fruits hanging within reach!  

It’s a beautiful plant that will add finesse to your rooms - think of the pages of a magazine! Whatever the style of your home - Victorian terrace or ultra-modern - the Weeping Fig will be a stunning feature and will enhance any room.
