This plant is supplied at an approximate size of \u003cstrong\u003e↕ 120 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e in a \u003cstrong\u003eØ27 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e nursery pot. The plant shown features a neatly \u003cstrong\u003ebraided multi-stem trunk\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving height and structure while keeping the canopy compact and easy to place in modern interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe foliage is deep green with visible, lighter veining and a slightly glossy surface that reflects daylight softly. New growth appears lighter and gradually deepens in colour as the leaves mature. Over time, a Ficus benghalensis can develop a wider crown and, in the right conditions, may form characteristic aerial roots—one of the traits that makes the banyan fig so distinctive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs an indoor plant, it suits you if you want the presence of a small tree without the fragility of flowering varieties. It responds well to consistent routines and a stable position in the room.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePlant care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright, indirect light is ideal.

It works especially well in a living room corner, beside a sideboard, or in a home office where the upright trunk and rounded canopy bring greenery without taking up much floor space.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCare tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the plant in a consistent spot; ficus trees can drop a few leaves if moved frequently. Rotate the pot every few weeks for even growth. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and help the plant photosynthesise efficiently. Use a pot with drainage and consider a decorative cachepot with space for airflow—this helps avoid standing water at the base.
