🌿 Benjamin Variegated Ficus (Ficus benjamina 'Variegata')
The Benjamin Variegated Ficus is known for its lush, glossy leaves and stunning variegation of green and creamy white, this plant creates a sophisticated, tropical vibe in any room.
- Air-Purifying: As with many Ficus varieties, it helps purify the air, promoting a healthier indoor environment.
- Adaptable Growth: Whether used as a statement piece in a corner or a decorative accent in a bright room, it fits effortlessly into a variety of spaces.
- Low Maintenance: With the right care, this plant is relatively easy to maintain, making it perfect for plant lovers of all levels.
🌿 Plant Care Guide:
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to thrive and maintain its vibrant variegation. It can tolerate lower light conditions, but the variegation may become less pronounced.
- Watering: Keep the soil moderately moist, allowing the top few inches to dry out between waterings. Be careful not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot.
- Soil: Well-draining, light potting mix works best. A general-purpose houseplant mix will provide the necessary drainage.
- Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 65°F-75°F (18°C-24°C). Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
- Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity. To maintain lush growth, mist occasionally or use a humidity tray if your environment is dry.
- Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring through summer).
