🌞 Light & Placement

Thrives in bright, indirect light but can adapt to light shade. Avoid strong direct sun, especially in summer, to prevent leaf scorch. Great for well-lit living rooms or offices.

💧 Water & Humidity

Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feel dry. This variety appreciates consistent moisture but dislikes soggy roots. Boost humidity during winter with a pebble tray or regular misting.

🪴 Soil & Potting

Use a well-draining indoor plant mix. Repot every 2–3 years in spring to refresh nutrients and manage growth. Choose pots with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.

🐾 Toxicity & Safety

Not safe for pets. Keep out of reach of cats and dogs, as ingestion can cause irritation.

🌱 Growth & Propagation

Grows up to 1 meter indoors over several years. Can be pruned for shape. Propagation possible via stem cuttings in water or moist soil with high humidity.

📆 Seasonal & Special Care

May drop leaves after relocation or sudden temperature changes—this is normal. Avoid cold drafts and keep temperatures above 15°C. Rotate the plant occasionally for even growth.

🐛 Common Issues

Watch for spider mites or scale in dry conditions. Keep leaves clean and boost humidity to prevent infestations. Yellowing leaves often signal overwatering or lack of light.

🧬 Botanical Background

A dwarf cultivar of the classic Weeping Fig, Ficus benjamina 'Kinky' hails from Southeast Asia and the Pacific. Its name refers to the curly, kinked edges of its leaves—adding texture and movement to any indoor setting.
