Anastasia Weeping Fig
About Anastasia Weeping Fig
The weeping fig, native to southeast Asia, is the official tree of Bangkok, Thailand. They make impressive additions to any living space, but in their natural habitat these trees can grow over 100 feet tall and provide food for many local bird species. In NASA’s 1989 Clean Air Study they were found to remove pollutants from the air. 💨

Is this pot too small for my ruby? Just got it a few weeks ago from a local grocery store, wondering if I should repot? #FicusRuby #FicusFam #repotting #Ficus #FicusFamily #NewPlantMom #NewPlants #NewPlant #questions

Fiddle fig bugs? I’m not sure if I have a bug problem on Figgy my FLF. I don’t see anything moving. Can anyone help identify if there is a mite or bug problem and if so what kind and share recommendations on how to treat it. Neem oil, soap wash? I’ve never dealt with bugs and everything I looked up has not been super clear, in forums people have disagreed about what it looks like and then I come away having more questions. My new leaves have edema which I’m not super worried about (found out my helpful child was watering him, too. 😆) but I noticed three or four tiny holes in the new leaves. The are some small brown patches here and there not a lot but it could be normal. I’m just not sure. After I took some pics later I came back and saw one little moth looking bug but I don’t know if it’s a pest to fiddles. I searched all over Figgy and found nothing else. The spots that I’m showing here are not moving at all even when I touch them. I don’t see bugs but is this a remnant of what they leave behind? I’m paranoid. lol I’ll add more pics in comments. Please help. 😬 #fiddleleaffig #FiddleLeafFig #fiddleleaffigtree #help #ficus

Are these spider mite webs? I have a weeping fig which has been losing baby leaves soon after they've unfurled. There's no other visible damage, no red mites or blackish poop spots but I just noticed this tiny web in the middle of the tree. I do currently have predatory mites for thrips - however I don't know if the predatory mites make webs? Any thoughts?? Edited to add a picture of the base of the leaf where it attaches to the stem as there are "waxy" build ups here on all the leaves of the tree? #pestcontrol #ficus #ficusgang

Why are all the leafs falling off of my plant? #Ficus

FUN FACT: Some ficus grow on TREES. As in, a tree grows on a tree. As they mature, the roots grow down its host tree. When they hit the ground, they widen. This can strangle the host tree. When the ficus trees mature, the roots remain the same, leaving a shaded area under it. Other roots will also grow to the ground from its branches, supporting the tree more. A ficus that grows as such is called a strangler fig. First pic is a young Ficus [microcarpa?] on a palm, second is its roots, third is a mature ficus [might also be microcarpa] #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #OutdoorGrowing #PlantInfo #PlantLove #Ficus

Naked ficus tineke #Ficus I have had this ficus tineke for about 2 years now, and this past winter had some overwatering issues where the roots looked pretty soggy, so I repotted in new soil (1/3 perlite, 1/3 orchid, 1/3 cactus soil now) but it continues losing lower leaves. I read these like to dry out between watering, so I’ve also started doing that. How can I help this plant stop losing more bottom leaves? I know it’s typical for some loss of bottom leaves, but the tree is half naked, so I’m worried the roots still aren’t doing great. Growth continues! Thank you!

Hello, can anyone guess what can be wrong with my rubber plant? I checked the roots, and they're healthy. Does she go outside or indoors, watered her yesterday,(dirt was dry), she was already like this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. TY #Ficus
