Weeping fig Lemon and lime

The Ficus benjamina ‘Lemon & Lime’ is a little tree with plenty of personality. Its glossy green leaves are splashed with bright lime-green markings, while the naturally braided stem gives it that instant “proper little tree” look — just in miniature.

Standing at around 45cm tall, this compact beauty is perfect for adding a touch of greenery to a desk, side table, shelf or office corner. Give it a bright spot, let the soil dry slightly between waterings, and try not to move it around too much — weeping figs can be a little dramatic about change!

Why you’ll love it:

• Gorgeous green and lime variegated leaves that brighten up a room
• Naturally braided trunk gives it a stylish little-tree look
• Compact 45cm size makes it perfect for desks, shelves and smaller spaces
• A great statement plant for modern homes, offices or that empty corner that needs a little something

Plant care:

Bright, indirect light is ideal. It can handle some gentle morning or afternoon sun, but avoid harsh direct sunlight for long periods. Weeping figs tend to loose their leaves if they don't get enough light.

Allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly before watering thoroughly. Don't leave the plant sitting in water.
