The Weeping Fig is one of the most popular indoor plants, being somewhere between an ornamental tree and a shrub. It grows densely packed glossy leaves giving it a very stylish look. Very compact as well, it offers great value in the amount of green it brings to any space. Light and Water It’s very adaptable to differing light conditions, as it will tolerate most, but prefers bright indirect light. Avoid the extremes of direct sunlight (this can burn its leaves) and completely shaded areas. In terms of water, it likes humid environments and water when the top two inches of soil feels dry. So, frequent misting and a pebble water tray will help in keeping it humid, while checking the soil every 2-3 days to check for dryness. Do not let the soil dry out completely between watering as you always want to keep the soil moist. You can also encourage it to grow more strongly by giving it a feed with plant fertiliser once a month in spring and summer. It will grow naturally I a tree formation, but you can prune it to a desired shape as well.
