The classic weeping fig was notorious for shedding leaves at the slightest change. Today, hybrids like ‘Midnight’, ‘Monique’, ‘Wintergreen’ (green/white), and ‘Alii’/‘Amstel’ tolerate medium to low light, temperature swings, and relocation with minimal leaf drop. Available as tabletop, braided-trunk, or 12-foot specimen trees.
Bright indirect light for best density; newer hybrids accept medium light. Water when top inch of soil dries. Stable temps, no drafts. Prune to shape.
Sap irritates; toxic to pets and children.
