Ficus benjamina
One of the most common indoor trees worldwide.
The Ficus benjamina is a familiar sight in offices and shopping centres the world over. They can thrive indoors but do need a good sunny position to thrive. If they don't get the light they need they will begin to drop leaves. If you're looking for an larger easy indoor plant then we'd suggest a Synognium or Epipremnum instead.

Ficus benjamina's don't like to moved. Once you've found somewhere they thrive try to keep them in the same spot.
Fertilising
Ficus benjamina's are heavy feeders. Apply fertiliser with water every other watering. Our Vermiliquid is a great choice.
