Ficus Benjamina (Weeping Fig)
Elegant, refined, and deeply calming — the Ficus Benjamina, also known as the Weeping Fig, is a true icon of indoor greenery. Native to the lush forests of Southeast Asia and Australia, this graceful plant is loved for its glossy, emerald-green leaves and delicately arching branches that form a soft, weeping canopy. Each slender branch sways gently, adding a serene, natural rhythm to your home or workspace.
The Ficus Benjamina can reach heights of 1–2 meters indoors, making it ideal as a statement plant for living rooms, offices, or hallways. Its sleek trunk — often artistically braided or twisted — enhances its ornamental appeal, while its lush foliage purifies the air by removing toxins, promoting a cleaner and more refreshing environment.
A resilient yet elegant houseplant, it thrives in bright, indirect light and enjoys moderate humidity. While it may shed some leaves when adjusting to new surroundings or light changes, this is a natural part of its growth cycle — after which it quickly rejuvenates. With steady care, the Weeping Fig rewards you with enduring beauty and vitality year after year.
At Acacia, we cultivate every Ficus Benjamina at our own farms in the UAE, ensuring that each plant embodies lush growth, balanced form, and exceptional freshness — a perfect harmony of nature’s grace and Acacia’s craftsmanship.
