Ficus Starlight – 4″

Ficus Benjamina ‘Starlight’, aka the Weeping Starlight Fig, is a species of flowering plant in the family Moraceae, native to Asia and Australia. It is also the official tree of Bangkok. Starlight is a variation that has almost all white or cream leaves splashed with streaks of dark green. Ficus — also called figs — are among the most popular indoor plants, and for good reason. These are easy to grow houseplants and offer a lot of variety and offer a variety of textures, so there’s one for practically everyone’s personal style.

Water: Low to Medium. Water ficus when the top inch or so of the potting mix starts to feel dry to the touch. Ficus are quite resilient and survive inconsistent watering, but grow best when they get moisture on a regular basis. 

Sunlight: Medium to Bright indirect. If they don’t get enough light, they’ll grow slowly and have long stems, giving the plants an unattractive, lanky appearance. Most ficus varieties will tolerate some direct sun on their leaves when grown as houseplants, so they’re great choices for sunny window sills. 

Pets: Not pet friendly!
