Dwarf Weeping Fig
About Dwarf Weeping Fig
The weeping fig, native to southeast Asia, is the official tree of Bangkok, Thailand. They make impressive additions to any living space, but in their natural habitat these trees can grow over 100 feet tall and provide food for many local bird species. In NASA’s 1989 Clean Air Study they were found to remove pollutants from the air. 💨

By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Dwarf Weeping Fig after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Ficus cpr I have this pretty but not-really-thriving Audrey Ficus. I attempted to notch it yesterday, and cutting into the trunk created sap in some areas but not others. Does that mean that the parts of the trunk that don’t produce sap are “dead”? Drake plant info linked below has Having a similar issue with my fiddle leaf which I’m working on bringing back from the dead, but expectations are low… (See photos— this one has rooting powder on notches) #NotSoHappyPlants #Ficus #FiddleLeafFig #NewGrowth #notching #Branching

She’s been repotted :-) #Ficus #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict . I was going to wait till end of may, but couldn’t help myself. Soil was finally dried enough to water. I figured, might as well. Let’s hope she likes her new home.

Seems dormant? Hi, bought a ficus 6 mons ago. 1 leaf turned yellow the first time I watered it Apart from 2 droppy leaves & a yellow one, the others are completely fine. Produced one leaf about 4 mons ago. Should I snipped off the yellow leaf? #Ficus

I cut the top off!! It’s been like this for months now. So I decided to chop the top and hopefully encourage it to branch and finally grow! Will keep everyone updated in weeks to come!! #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PlantLove #Ficus #FicusGang #julesplants

#GregPlantShop is pretty legit. I went in thinking I’ll only want one plant but the design of the shop gave me ideas. Even my partner agreed that the shop was nice and well designed! The unboxing shall be the next great achievement. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PLANTMAFIA #AlocasiaAddicts #Alocasia #Aglaonema #Ficus #FicusGang @alex thanks 😊

Grow light recommendations #GrowLights #Ficus #NewPlants #FicusRuby #HappyPlants hello everyone, I’m brand new to grow lights, so no idea about them. Looking for one that would look nice in a living room. I have this new rubber ruby and I think will need some extra light in the bottom half. Amazon has some that stand and can be made shorter or longer. But I’m not sure of the type of light they emit. This is one of the ones I’m looking at. https:// . Or . https:// this style I’ve seen 20 and 40 watt. But no idea of what the plant needs. She’s facing east and the condo has another condo right across. So light is limited. . Edit to add, this app really needs a search function. 2nd edit to add, decided to go for this one. Is the only one I found that looks somewhat decent in the living room. Is really bright. So bright, that from ware I sit to work, I see it from the side, and I’m not sure if my eyes willwil be able to handle it long term. We’ll see. wolezek Grow Lights for Indoor... https://
