🌿 Dense and elegant foliage • ☀️ Bright indirect light • 💧 Moderate watering • 🏙️ Structuring XXL plant • 📏 H120 cm | Pot Ø27 cm
The Ficus Benjamina Exotica, also known as the Weeping Fig, is a majestic tropical plant recognized for its dense foliage with small, shiny deep green leaves. Its graceful drooping habit and natural branching create a sophisticated silhouette that brings lightness and structure to any interior — a reliable choice in our large indoor plants selection.
Native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia and Australia, this species naturally grows into large trees where it develops its characteristic dense foliage. With an impressive height of 120 cm, it becomes the centerpiece of your urban jungle, perfect for dressing a living room, entrance, or spacious office.
Which variety of Ficus Benjamina to choose?
The Ficus benjamina genus includes several cultivars with distinct foliage — here are the varieties available in our Ficus Benjamina collection:
- Ficus Benjamina 'Exotica' (this plant) — narrow, shiny dark green leaves, very dense drooping habit (H120 cm | Pot Ø27 cm). The largest and most structuring version.
- Ficus Benjamina 'Danielle' — broad, smooth dark green leaves, dense and compact habit (H95 cm | Pot Ø21 cm). The most classic and widespread version.
- Ficus Benjamina 'Goldenking' — variegated green and cream leaves, airy habit (H95 cm | Pot Ø21 cm). The brightest and most decorative version.
- Ficus Benjamina 'Twilight' — finely cream-edged leaves, very graphic foliage (H95 cm | Pot Ø21 cm). The most elegant and contrasting version.
- Ficus Benjamina 'Kinky' — wavy light green leaves edged with cream, compact habit (H28 cm | Pot Ø12 cm). The miniature version, ideal for starting out.
Light & location
The Ficus Benjamina Exotica thrives in bright indirect light — a well-lit window without direct sun is enough to reveal all its foliage. To know where to place it depending on your rooms, this complete guide by room type will help you make the right choice.
- Light: bright indirect light to partial shade — protected from direct sun in summer.
- Ideal for: spacious living room, bright entrance, office, or room corner near a window.
- Temperature: 18 to 25 °C, without sudden changes or drafts.
- Substrate: rich, light, and well-drained — potting soil for green plants mixed with perlite.
Watering & care
The Ficus Benjamina is sensitive to both overwatering and drought — consistency matters more than quantity. To master this balance, the finger test method is the most reliable before each watering.
- Watering: moderate — let the surface of the substrate dry slightly between waterings.
- Drainage: essential to avoid root rot — always use a pot with drainage holes.
- Humidity: prefers a slightly humid atmosphere; occasionally mist the foliage.
- Fertilizer: every 3 weeks in spring and summer, with diluted liquid fertilizer.
- Winter rest: reduce watering in autumn and winter.
Decor ideas & plant combinations
With its imposing stature and airy drooping foliage, the Ficus Benjamina Exotica naturally structures the space — a particularly striking effect in large interiors.
- Create a layered plant scene by pairing the Ficus Benjamina with a Monstera Deliciosa at its base and an Areca Palm in the background — a very coherent contrast of textures and heights in terms of care.
- Place it in a living room or office corner in the Elho Brussels Anthracite decorative pot Ø30 cm — the deep gray creates an elegant contrast with the shiny green foliage.
- Pair it with a Philodendron Imperial Green for a duo of large plants with complementary textures — drooping airy foliage on one side, broad upright leaves on the other — in the Elho Greenville White pot Ø30 cm for a clean finish.
- For a bright entrance, place it in the Elho Greenville Leaf Green pot Ø30 cm — the deep green of the pot blends with the Ficus foliage for a sophisticated monochrome effect.
Verdeia tips
- Avoid frequent moves: the Ficus drops leaves at the slightest change of location; choose its permanent spot upon arrival and let it settle.
- Rotate the pot a quarter turn every 15 days for balanced growth toward the light — it’s the only movement the Ficus tolerates without stress.
- Repot every 2 to 3 years in spring into a slightly larger pot — a well-managed repotting with fresh, well-draining substrate restarts growth and maintains a dense habit.

FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are selected from our European partner nurseries. Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected with breathable, secure packaging. Each package is designed to ensure your plant arrives in perfect health, without any transport-related stress.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Shipping is done within 48 business hours, with tracked delivery within 2 to 5 business days. Delivery costs €5.60 — free for orders over €50. You will receive a tracking link as soon as the package is shipped.
What to do upon receiving my plant?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What to do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
