Ficus benjamina, Standard or Braid
Ficus benjamina, commonly known as the Weeping Fig or Benjamin Fig, is a popular indoor plant due to its elegant growth and tolerance of poor growing conditions. It has slender branches that arch gracefully from a light gray trunk, with dense, glossy dark leaves that may shed when the plant is stressed.
Great as a houseplant for areas with indirect light. Can be used in office settings due to its air purifying qualities. Also suitable for containers and outdoor planting in warmer climates.
