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 elegant, slightly drooping leaf shape. This plant is delivered at approximately 95 cm tall in a Ø21 cm grow pot, styled with the Selin basket in a woven natural fibre look for a calm, Scandinavian finish. The plant is trained on a support cane to help it grow upright and evenly.
‘Danielle’ is valued for its rich green leaves and full habit, making it a dependable choice when you want real greenery with a tidy silhouette. Like many ficus, it prefers a stable spot and consistent care—once it settles in, it becomes a long-lived houseplant that develops character over time.
Plant care
- Light requirements: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Tolerates medium light, but growth will slow. Avoid harsh midday sun which can scorch leaves.
- Watering routine: Water when the top 3–5 cm of soil feels dry. Water thoroughly, then let excess drain away. Do not leave the pot standing in water.
- Humidity preferences: Moderate humidity. Appreciates occasional misting or a gentle shower to remove dust, especially in winter when indoor air is dry.
- Temperature range: Typical indoor temperatures of 18–26°C. Keep away from cold drafts, radiators, and frequently opened doors.

Placement in the home
Place your Ficus benjamina ‘Danielle’ in a bright living room corner, beside a sofa, or near a window with filtered light. It also works well in a hallway with good daylight or a home office where you want greenery without taking up floor space. Choose a stable location—ficus can drop some leaves when moved frequently or exposed to drafts.
Care tips
Keep it consistent. A steady watering rhythm and an even light level help prevent leaf drop. Rotate the plant a little every week or two to maintain balanced growth. Feed with a standard houseplant fertiliser about once a month during spring and summer; reduce feeding in winter. Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to keep the foliage clean and to support efficient photosynthesis.
Note on the basket: The Selin basket provides a warm, natural texture. Keep the inner grow pot on a saucer or liner inside the basket to protect the weave from moisture.
