The standard ficus comes in either a twisted stem (as featured in the photo) or a single straight stem leading up to the glossy green leaves with wavy edges that form the ball or head of the plant.

The beautiful weeping habit of Ficus Benjamina "Exotica" means they are a very popular indoor or outdoor plant. Standard ficus are usually found positioned either side of the front door entrance or flanking the start of a garden path.

Kept moist but not wet in filtered to half day sun will keep your plants happy & free of any real maintenance. Remember to fertilise twice a year in spring & autumn with intermediate liquid applications of Aquasol every second month.

Standard ficus add the charm & elegance many home owners desire & with such a fuss free plant it's easy to see why they are so popular with many beautifuly landscpaed gardens.
