Ficus: The Classic That’s Full of Personality

Category: Plants for Every Space

Ficus plants have been indoor staples for years—and for good reason. With glossy green leaves and tree-like vibes, they bring height, elegance, and a bit of boldness to your space. They can be a little picky at first, but once they settle in, they thrive for years.

Why You’ll Love It

  • Elegant and tree-like = instant room upgrade

  • Great for corners, entryways, and bright rooms

  • Air-purifying and energizing

  • Tons of variety—Ficus Benjamina, Ficus Audrey, and more!

Care Tips

Light: Bright, indirect light is best. It hates being moved, so pick a spot and stick with it.
Water: Let the top 1–2 inches dry before watering. Keep it consistent—Ficus doesn’t like surprises.
Humidity: Appreciates higher humidity but adapts to average homes just fine.
Soil: A rich, well-draining blend like our Signature Grow Mix keeps those roots comfy.

Propagation Magic

Snip a healthy branch with a node and pop it in water or moss. Add a few drops of Root Boost to speed up the rooting process and support healthy growth.

Root Tip

Dropping leaves? Don’t panic. Ficus is famous for throwing a little fit when adjusting to new environments. Give it stable light, consistent watering, and some time.
