Ficus Benjamina Danielle Weeping Fig – Green, Upright Form, Ceramic Plant Pot, Dark Grey
Plant description
Ficus benjamina ‘Danielle’ (often called the weeping fig) is a classic indoor tree with dense, glossy green leaves and a naturally elegant, upright shape. This plant is delivered at an approximate height of 95 cm in a Ø21 cm pot, paired with the Mayk pot in Lead—a calm, dark grey tone that suits light woods, stone surfaces and neutral textiles. The ficus is trained on a support cane to keep its growth straight and stable from day one.
‘Danielle’ is valued for its fine leaf structure and full crown. The small, pointed leaves create a soft silhouette without feeling heavy in the room, making it a reliable choice for Scandinavian interiors where greenery is meant to add texture and balance rather than visual noise.
Plant care
- Light requirements: Bright, indirect light. Tolerates medium light, but grows best near a window with filtered sun. Avoid harsh midday sun on the 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. Always let excess water drain—do not leave the pot standing in water.
- Humidity preferences: Moderate humidity. Average indoor humidity is fine; mist occasionally or wipe leaves if the air is very dry.
- Temperature range: 18–26°C. Keep away from cold drafts, radiators and frequently opened exterior doors.

Placement in the home
Place this ficus where it gets steady daylight—ideal locations include a bright living room corner, beside a sideboard, or near a dining area window with sheer curtains. In bedrooms and home offices, it works well a little back from the window to avoid direct sun while still maintaining healthy growth. Because ficus plants respond to changes in position, choose a spot you can keep consistent.
Care tips
Ficus benjamina can drop a few leaves when moved or when conditions change—this is normal. To keep it looking even, rotate the plant a quarter turn every week or two. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and help the plant photosynthesise efficiently. Feed with a standard houseplant fertiliser about once a month during spring and summer; reduce to every 6–8 weeks in winter.
The included support cane helps maintain a straight trunk while the crown fills out. If you prefer a more natural, slightly looser shape, you can prune lightly in the growing season to encourage branching.
