The Variegated Weeping Fig (Ficus benjamina 'Variegata') is a striking houseplant known for its elegant, arching branches and small, glossy green leaves edged with creamy white. It’s a popular choice for indoor spaces due to its air-purifying qualities and ability to grow into a beautiful, bushy tree over time.

 

Care Guide:

 

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Some morning sun is beneficial, but avoid harsh afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves. Low light can cause leaf drop.

 

Water: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid sudden changes in watering, as this can cause leaf drop.

 

Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity. If the air is too dry, mist the leaves occasionally.

 

Temperature: Thrives in 18-26°C (65-80°F). Keep away from drafts, air conditioners, and heating vents.

 

Soil: Well-draining potting mix, preferably with peat, perlite, and compost.

 

Fertilizer: Feed every 4-6 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer.

 

Pruning: Trim to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth.

 

Propagation: Can be propagated through stem cuttings in water or soil.

 

 

Additional Tips:

 

Avoid moving it frequently, as it can drop leaves in response to stress.

 

If leaves yellow or drop excessively, check for overwatering, underwatering, or sudden environmental changes.

 

It can be mildly toxic to pets if ingested, so keep it out of reach of cats and dogs.

 

 

With proper care, the Variegated Weeping Fig can grow into a stunning indoor tree, making it a statement piece in any space!
