Weeping Fig ‘Kinky’
Ficus Benjamina 'Kinky'
One of the most popular house trees available!
The Weeping Fig 'Kinky'’ is an evergreen member of the Ficus family! Somewhere between bush, shrub and tree, I have delicate branches with small, drooping leaves. My leaves are a rich green, with lighter green shading round the edges. This house plant is purifying and humidifying. The Kinky is a fantastic air purifier, clearing many common household toxins out of the air such as benzene and formaldehyde, both found in everyday items such as sofa upholstery and wallpaper. Weeping Figs are natives of humid environments, the more humid it gets, the more humidity it releases to the air helping relieve respiratory complaints and skin sensitivity.
- A true long-life indoor plant: it'll be 10 years until I reach maturity
- Very adaptable when it comes to light, soil and climate
- A great choice for a modern home
- Its leaves are not as large as its close relative, which means it does not take much space
- The Weeping fig has been given its name due to its 'weeping habit' and it is also known as the Ficus Tree and Benjamin Tree.
