This one-of-a-kind tree stands apart from the rest. What you see in the photos are what you get, and there will never be another one like it.

I’m Benny the Weeping Fig Tree, 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 your home though, I will 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 partial shade. To water, submerge my pot up to the rim for 5-10 minutes. Do this about once every 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.
