Benjamina Golden Ficus

Benjamina Golden Ficus“A common ornamental variety of the weeping fig is the **Benjamina Golden Ficus**, often called **Ficus benjamina ‘Golden King’**. It is a favorite for indoor decoration and landscaping because of its beautiful, arching branches and vivid, variegated leaves.

**Description**
The glossy, wavy-edged leaves have a remarkable combination of green cores and lemon-green or yellow borders.
Height: Increases to 2-3 meters indoors and to a greater height outside.
– Growth: Dense, graceful canopy formed by upright branches that droop slightly.

**Conditions of Growth**
Bright, indirect light is preferred; it can withstand moderate shade but may lose its variegation in low light.
Temperature: Avoid cold winds and abrupt temperature changes; thrives at warm temperatures between 18°C and 30°C.
Soil: Humus-rich, well-draining potting mix
When the top inch of soil feels dry, water; in the winter, water less.
Moderate to high humidity is preferred; sporadic sprinkling helps keep leaves from dropping.

**Tips for Taking Care**
Repot every two to three years or when the plant becomes root-bound; rotate the plant periodically to promote even growth; prune lightly to control size and shape; and avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.

The Golden Ficus gives patios and interior spaces a vibrant, tropical feel. It is a remarkable option for both inexperienced and seasoned plant enthusiasts due to its vibrant leaves and low maintenance requirements.”
