weeping fig bonsai tree Weeping Fig Modern BonsaiIm Benny, the Weeping Fig Tree, and native to Southeast Asia and Australia. In the wild, I can grow up to 60 ft tall and can uplift sidewalks and streets if left to my own devices. In a home I make a great indoor bonsai and will stay small. I've been trained to have a loop in my trunk to show off these curves. I love bright conditions but will tolerate part shade. To water, submerge my pot up to the rim for 5 10 minutes. Do this about once every 5 7

I’m Benny, the Weeping Fig Tree, and native to Southeast Asia and Australia. In the wild, I can grow up to 60 ft tall and can uplift sidewalks and streets if left to my own devices. In a home I make a great indoor bonsai and will stay small. I've been trained to have a loop in my trunk to show off these curves.  

I love bright conditions but will tolerate part shade. To water, submerge my pot up to the rim for 5-10 minutes. Do this about once every 5-7 days, more often if very hot or dry. Generally, when my pot feels 1/2 lighter, I need water. You can safely prune back my leaves to keep me in shape twice a year. Keep me away from the direct line of heaters and air conditioners, or any sudden changes in temperature. Once it's above 55F, you can even bring me outside for some natural sun and air. Just make sure to protect me from harsh afternoon sun.

Symbolism: After attaining enlightenment, Buddha was believed to have sat under a Ficus tree for seven days, absorbed in his new-found realization. Generally, Ficuses encourage stability and steadfastness in Feng Shui. Its Wood element feeds Fire in the productive cycle, symbolizing expansion and the chance for continuous growth and enhanced wealth or success. Moreover, its 'Zhen' Chi gives this tree the ability to amplify protective energy, especially in one's career and financial journey.

Includes basic care instructions. We always recommend doing more research as each environment-- and tree!-- is unique. Plate sold separately.
