Ficus Benjamina 'Danielle'

Description:

The Ficus Benjamina 'Danielle', commonly known as the Weeping Fig, is a popular ornamental houseplant known for its lush, glossy, and graceful appearance. The 'Danielle' cultivar is a variant of the traditional Ficus Benjamina, and it is distinguished by its attractive, dense foliage and more compact growth habit. It features slender branches with vibrant, dark green leaves that are often slightly glossy and arranged in an elegant, cascading manner. The leaves have a pointed shape, which contributes to its refined, tree-like appearance.

In the wild, Ficus Benjamina can grow into a large tree, but as a houseplant, it is often kept at a smaller, manageable size. The Ficus Benjamina 'Danielle' is an ideal choice for both home and office decor due to its adaptability and aesthetic appeal.


Care Guide:

  1. Light:

    • The Ficus Benjamina 'Danielle' thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate moderate light conditions, but for optimal growth, bright, indirect sunlight is preferred.
    • Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves, causing them to yellow and drop off.
    • If the plant is placed in too low light, it may become leggy and may not produce as much new growth.
  2. Watering:

    • Water the Ficus Benjamina 'Danielle' when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch.
    • Water thoroughly, but ensure that excess water drains away.
    • Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. The plant prefers its soil to dry out slightly between waterings, so be cautious not to let it sit in soggy soil.
    • During the winter months, reduce watering frequency as the plant’s growth slows down.
  3. Soil:

    • The plant prefers a well-draining potting mix. A standard indoor potting soil will work fine, but it’s ideal to mix it with perlite or sand to improve drainage.
    • Make sure that the pot has drainage holes to prevent water from accumulating at the bottom, which can lead to root rot.
  4. Temperature:

    • The Ficus Benjamina 'Danielle' thrives in temperatures between 60-75°F (16-24°C).
    • It can tolerate slightly warmer or cooler temperatures, but temperatures below 50°F (10°C) should be avoided.
    • Keep the plant away from drafts, sudden temperature changes, or heating/cooling vents, as these conditions can cause the leaves to drop.
  5. Humidity:

    • This plant prefers moderate to high humidity but can tolerate normal indoor humidity levels.
    • If the air in your home is very dry, especially during winter, you can increase humidity by misting the leaves, placing the plant on a humidity tray, or using a room humidifier.
  6. Fertilizing:

    • Fertilize the Ficus Benjamina 'Danielle' during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
    • Apply fertilizer every 4-6 weeks to encourage healthy growth.
    • Avoid fertilizing in the fall and winter when the plant’s growth slows down.
