Variegated Ficus Benjamina "Anastasia" 5” pot

Ficus benjamina “Anastasia” stands out with its finely pointed, glossy leaves washed in bright green tones and framed by deeper green edges. The foliage has a lightly variegated, brushed look, giving the plant a soft, elegant appearance. Its growth habit is naturally full and upright, forming a graceful, tree-like shape as it matures. The overall effect is light, airy, and refined — a fresh take on the classic weeping fig.

• Does best with bright, indirect light with a couple of hours of direct sun. It can tolerate medium light, but brighter conditions help maintain its crisp colouring and fuller growth. 
• Water when the first 1/3 of the soil dries out. Ficus prefers consistent moisture but dislikes sitting in water. Sudden overwatering or underwatering may cause leaf drop.
• Does well with moderate humidity but adaptable to household humidity 
• Ideal temperature range is 18–26°C. Keep away from drafts, air vents, and sudden temperature changes — Ficus is sensitive to environmental shifts and leaf drop is the most common symptom
• Exhibits a naturally bushy growth habit that can be shaped or pruned to maintain a compact, tree-like form.

CARE: 

• Does best with consistent bright indirect light 
• Benefits from a few hours of the morning sun 
• Avoid prolonged exposure to strong afternoon sun during peak summer months because the leaves will burn 
• Prone to acclamation stress- avoid constantly moving spots if you can help it
• Medium-high humidity
• Water when 1/3 of the soil is dry 
• Maintain with light pruning during or at the end of the growing season (to avoid a scraggly appearance)
