• Water once or twice per week.

• In Summer, if it’s hot and getting a lot of light it will need watering more often, once a week depending on the size of the plant and pot. 

☀️ Light: Bright Indirect 

• Ficus Benjamina likes mostly bright indirect lighting and likes shade too. If it doesn’t receive enough light the leaves will grow smaller and the stems elongated.
