Hanging Weeping Fig

A hanging weeping fig tree makes a statement in any brightly lit room. Growers sometimes braid its trunks for a decorative topiary look. Some nurseries offer fancy cultivars of this popular house plant: F. benjamina ‘Indigo’ and ‘Midnight’ have dark-green, glossy leaves. ‘Monique’ has wavy leaves. A few of the many variegated cultivars include ‘Starlight’ with dark-green leaves edged in creamy white…’Silver Cloud’ delicately edged with white…and ‘Variegata‘ broadly variegated with creamy yellow.
