Hi, my name is Ficus!
My Latin name is Ficus Benjamina. You may also know me as the weeping fig. At Plantanious, you can find me in different varieties, all with a different colour or pattern of leaf. I have a lot of leaves that brightens that one bare corner in your house.
You might know me as a houseplant, but in South-West Asia, Africa, South America and Australia I grow in tropical rainforests. In Portugal, I can also be found in the wild. Here I can grow up to 30 metres high! You don’t need to be afraid of me reaching these heights at home, I am very modest indoors.
Where should you place me?
Put me in a bright spot in the house, where I won't be bothered by any draughts.
What do I like?
I like a regular sip of lukewarm water! I also like to get fertilizer once a month during the growing season.

Plantanious works together with the Work with Nature foundation. Our tropical rainforests are disappearing at a rapid pace and an enormous biodiversity is being lost along with the trees. If it were up to us, the jaguar would soon walk around again in the rainforest in Costa Rica protected by 'Adopt Rainforest'! The place where many of our special plants originate. In order to make an important contribution to the goal of the foundation - to protect 2,000 hectares of rainforest in the next ten years - we donate part of our turnover to protect part of the tropical rainforest. To achieve their goal, the foundation puts money into protection, conservation, reforestation, education and research.
