Light & Location

The Ficus Benjamina Exotica enjoys bright indirect light. It tolerates various lighting conditions well, making it a versatile plant for all interiors.

• Light: bright indirect light to partial shade.
• Ideal: spacious living room, bright entrance, office, or room corner near a window.
• Temperature: 18 to 25 °C, without sudden changes.
• Substrate: rich, light, and well-drained (green plant potting soil + perlite).

Verdeia tip: give it enough space so its dense foliage can spread out harmoniously.

Watering & Care

• Watering: moderate; let the surface of the substrate dry slightly between waterings.
• Drainage: essential to avoid root rot — use a pot with drainage holes.
• Humidity: appreciates a slightly humid atmosphere; occasionally mist the foliage.
• Fertilizer: every 3 weeks in spring and summer, with diluted liquid fertilizer.
• Winter rest: reduce watering in autumn and winter.

Regularly clean the small shiny leaves with a damp cloth to preserve their shine.

Decor Ideas & Plant Combinations

With its imposing stature and dense drooping foliage, the Ficus Benjamina Exotica instantly becomes the centerpiece of your interior. It structures the space with elegance and lightness.

• To pair with: Monstera, Alocasia, Philodendron, or small plants at the base to create a layered composition.

• Ambiance: perfect to structure a living room, dress an entrance, or create a jungle corner in an office.

Place it in a room corner or near a sofa to create a spectacular and airy green focal point.

Verdeia Tips

• Avoid frequent moves: the Ficus can lose leaves when stressed.
• Maintain a stable temperature without cold drafts.
• Repot every 2 to 3 years in spring into a slightly larger pot.
• If some leaves fall during a location change, it is normal — the plant is adapting.
• Rotate the pot regularly for balanced growth towards the light.
