The Ficus genus includes more than 800 species, the most common of which is Ficus benjamina, also known as the Weeping Fig. This versatile plant thrives in bright, indirect light and requires minimal maintenance, making it an excellent choice for indoor spaces. Ficus plants have been proven to improve air quality by removing pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene and trichloroethylene. With its longevity and ability to adapt to different environments, the Ficus is the perfect addition to any indoor space. To care for a Ficus plant, it is important to place it in a spot with partial shade or shade as it thrives in low light conditions. Water it once a week and allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Ficus prefers well-drained soil, such as a mixture of peat moss and perlite. Regarding fertilization, it is recommended to provide the plant with balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Remember that this plant comes in a decorative pot, so make sure you choose a pot that complements its beauty. Ficus plants are often used indoors as ornamental plants because of their attractive leaves and ability to tolerate low light. These versatile plants can be placed in a variety of places such as living rooms, offices or bedrooms, adding a touch of greenery and beauty to any space.
