Light up your indoor space with the beautifully variegated foliage of Ficus Benjamina 'Starlight', a true eye-catcher with delicate cream-and-green variegated leaves set against elegant silver-grey branches. Its graceful weeping habit gives it a soft, sophisticated presence, making it a striking feature plant for living rooms, offices, bright patios and sheltered spaces. Like other Weeping Figs, it is also valued for its potential to contribute to a greener indoor environment.
Safety Note: The sap may irritate skin and the plant should not be eaten. Keep away from pets and children.
Place your Starlight in bright, indirect or filtered light to maintain its attractive variegation, avoiding harsh direct sunlight that can scorch the leaves. Water when the top layer of soil has dried slightly, then water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain away. Keep the watering routine consistent, as Ficus benjamina can respond to sudden changes in conditions or location by dropping leaves. Avoid cold draughts, air-conditioning vents and frequently moving the plant around. Light pruning can be used to maintain its shape and encourage a fuller, more attractive habit.
