Ficus Benjamina Danielle Weeping Fig – Green

Plant description

Ficus benjamina ‘Danielle’ (weeping fig) is a classic indoor tree with dense, glossy green foliage and a naturally light, airy silhouette. This plant is delivered at an approximate height of 95 cm in a Ø21 cm nursery pot, placed inside the included Igmar woven basket. A discreet support stake helps the plant grow upright and evenly—useful during the first months as it settles into your home.

‘Danielle’ is valued for its tidy leaf shape and compact branching, which makes it easy to style in calm, modern interiors without looking heavy. The many small leaves create a soft, green screen effect and bring depth to a room—ideal when you want a plant with presence but a refined expression.

Plant care

• Light requirements: Bright, indirect light is ideal. It also tolerates medium light, but growth will be slower. Avoid harsh midday sun, which can scorch leaves.
• Watering routine: Water when the top 2–4 cm of soil feels dry. In most homes this is about once a week, less in winter. Water thoroughly, then let excess water drain—do not leave roots standing in water.
• Humidity preferences: Average indoor humidity is fine. If the air is very dry (especially in winter), occasional misting or placing the pot on a pebble tray can help reduce leaf drop.
• Temperature range: Best between 18–26°C. Keep away from cold drafts, open windows in winter, and heat sources.

Placement in the home

Place your Ficus benjamina ‘Danielle’ where it gets steady daylight—near a bright window with filtered light is ideal. It works well in a living room corner, beside a sofa, or on a hallway floor spot where you want greenery without taking up too much visual space. Choose a stable position; ficus plants prefer consistency and may drop a few leaves if moved often.

Care tips

Rotate the plant a quarter turn every 1–2 weeks for even growth. Wipe leaves occasionally with a soft, damp cloth to keep them dust-free and help the plant photosynthesise efficiently. Feed with a balanced houseplant fertiliser monthly during spring and summer; reduce to every 6–8 weeks in winter. If you see leaf drop, check for drafts, overwatering, or sudden changes in light—these are the most common causes.

The included Igmar basket offers a clean, natural finish. To protect the basket, keep the plant in its nursery pot and avoid spilling water into the weave; a simple inner liner or saucer is recommended if you tend to water generously.
