Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Ficus benjamina ‘Pandora’ is a unique, curly form of Weeping Fig. This evergreen houseplant has glossy green, curlique leaves covering thin, arching branches. Young specimens are often braided together to create an elegant, structured houseplant. Matures into a small tree or large shrub, maxing out around 6 feet indoors. Ficus plants do not like their environment to change, which may cause leaf drop. Provide a well-draining soil and water infrequently, more so during active growth. They love a bright, sunny room with indirect light. Direct sun will burn the leaves. It’s best to rotate your plant periodically to encourage equal growth on all sides. Ideally, your Ficus should be kept at indoor temperatures between 65° and 75°F. Avoid nighttime temperatures below 50°F.

Dark, glossy green leaves are folded and curled. A small tree to large shrub it is easily kept in bounds with occasional pruning. An excellent bonsai specimen. As easily grown as any of the Weeping Figs, Ficus benjamina, but with a finer textured, denser canopy when mature.
