Exotica Weeping FIg
About Exotica Weeping FIg
Did you know that all plants in the Ficus genus produce figs? In fact, the word Ficus quite literally means figs! Even cooler, all figs are pollinated by tiny wasps that use the fruits as a safe place to raise their young. 🐝 Ficus plants also contain latex which emerges as a milky sap when twigs are broken. This latex makes them toxic, so be sure to keep a close eye out if you have children or pets!

Any tips for leaves rotting around the stem? I imagine it’s too much water, maybe the pot being too large? It’s growing new leaves pretty consistently, but older ones keep falling! #FiddleLeafFig

This guy looks mostly dead. I shouldn't be watering more than every 2 weeks, right? #Ficus

What is wrong with my plant . I’ve only had it for two weeks. 3 days after it was delivered the leaves started crumpling #RubberPlant

Says direct sunlight but right now it's 30 degrees out at night. I don't think it can stand that cold and it weighs more than I can safely lift to be bringing in and back out on the lani #FiddleLeafFig

Why is my ficus ginseng’s leaves yellowing? This beautiful baby doesn’t seem to be growing much, and I’ve been watering it at the right times, it has about 2-3 hours of sunlight (direct) and I cannot figure out why it is yellowing!
