Meet the Ficus

Ficus is a classic indoor genus that includes popular houseplants like Rubber Plant (Ficus elastica), Fiddle-Leaf Fig (Ficus lyrata), and Weeping Fig (Ficus benjamina). Give them bright, filtered light and consistent watering, and they’ll reward you with bold, glossy foliage and steady growth.

Fun Facts

Big family — Includes Rubber Plant, Fiddle-Leaf Fig, and Weeping Fig.

Shapable — Can be trained as a small indoor tree with pruning.

Glossy leaves — Wipe dust with a damp cloth to keep leaves shining.

Latex sap — Pruning releases sticky latex; avoid contact with skin and fabrics.

Sad Plant Signs
