Ficus Benjamina Danielle (PBR) | 17cm Pot

Popular graceful plant to compliment any home. Position: bright but indirect light Soil: good potting compost Rate of growth: average Hardiness: tender (indoors only) Current height: approximately 70cm (+ or – 10% including the pot) Pot cover: choose an 18cm pot cover to give a good fit over the pot A graceful, weeping plant with masses of slender pointed, glossy green leaves that are perfect for softening any room. Part of the ornamental fig family, it has been adorning our homes since the Victorian times but is just as favoured now in our contemporary homes as it was then. Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery pot). They do however make excellent potted plants, and if you wish to pot yours up, we do have a wide range of pots on our website to choose from. Home care: It doesn’t have many needs – as long as you find a bright spot away from direct sunlight, not close to a heat source like a radiator and away from any draughts, it will usually be happy. Once it has the right place try not to move it as they don’t like being moved around. 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 the watering. Mist the leaves in the summer months, and feed with a liquid fertiliser during the growing season.
