Lively Root Ficus Benjamina

This plant requires bright, indirect light to maintain its lush, dark foliage. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves, or in low-light corners where it may drop leaves.

No, the Ficus Benjamina Midnight Braid is toxic to both cats and dogs if ingested. It is best to keep this plant in a room that your pets cannot access.

You can increase humidity by grouping it with other plants, using a pebble tray filled with water, or placing a humidifier nearby. This is especially important during the winter months when indoor air tends to be drier.

With proper care, this Ficus can reach an impressive height of up to 10 feet. Because it has a slow growth rate, it will take time to reach its full potential, making it a long-term architectural feature for your home.

Maintain a moderate watering schedule, allowing the top inch or two of soil to dry out before watering again. Ensure your pot has good drainage, as this plant does not like to sit in soggy soil.

No, this specific cultivar is not classified as an air-purifying plant. It is primarily chosen for its dramatic, architectural aesthetic and braided trunk design.
