Cling-On® Anastasia Weeping Fig

The Cling-On® Anastasia Weeping Fig (Ficus benjamina), a graceful, effortless-to-grow fig, can take on the appearance of either a quaint tree or a multi-stemmed, bushy plant. Its slender, arching branches are adorned with glossy leaves variegated in hues of dark and light green. To maintain its striking variegation, the plant requires abundant light. An ideal location would be directly in front of an east or west-facing window, though a southern exposure would also suffice. Unlike the traditional Ficus benjamina, which is notorious for shedding leaves when relocated, the Anastasia variety has been specially cultivated to minimize this issue, ensuring a resilient and attractive addition to your indoor garden.
