Ficus Benghalensis

Comes with white ceramic pot, similar to the one shown here.

This could be the ideal houseplant for you if you want a tough but easy going indoor plant that can reach staggering heights within just a few years. The shiny glossy leaves look great in most homes and although young plants start off small they will fill the space in an empty corner quickly. These guys were propagated off of my large rubber tree and they took several months to root. They are hearty and healthy and propagated with love, with my own hands.

Grow away from continuous direct sunlight. Instead give your plant a well lit spot with some indirect sun if possible. This one will take some shade and poorly lit spaces, but too much for too long and the plant will become lanky and spindly.

Watering needs are simple - they love a good soaking when they're growing, but dislike constantly damp roots. We've found the best way to treat them is to water your plant really well once the soil surface and top inch has dried out, then wait until it dries out in the same way before watering again.

You shouldn't let a it sit in water, so after 30 minutes if there's still water remaining in the drip tray, pour it away. In Winter scale back and avoid the soaking, instead aim to keep the soil just moist, but remember to still let the soil dry out before coming back with the watering can.

You can mist the leaves from time to time when the air is very dry, but really you don't need to worry about humidity levels.

To produce those massive leaves it needs feeding. Little and often is best, a weak balanced feed every couple of watering's during Spring and Summer.
