Features

Chandelier ‘Roy’ or Ficus benghalensis, is an airy, multi-stemmed ficus, with sprawling branches supporting large, leathery leaves of emerald green. Leaves are embossed with raised veins of light green, and supported on stems that become cork-colored and woody with age. Another alternative to the ubiquitous Fiddle Leaf Fig, ‘Roy’ is capable of growing into a majestic or, dare say you–Royal Bengal Fig tree over time!

Maintenance Notes:

For optimal performance, keep your Ficus at 60-85°F (15-29°C).
Be sure to position your Ficus away from cold drafts and forced air.
Ficuses thrive in bright, indirect light. They are not low light plants and should be placed near a window. East- or west-facing windows are good choices.
Ficuses prefer to dry out some in between waterings. Allow the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry out before giving your Ficus a good soaking.
Feed your Ficus once per month at half strength when it is actively growing. Reduce frequency of fertilization in the winter months.
Protect furniture when watering & fertilizing
When repotting your Ficus, use all purpose potting mix with added orchid bark, perlite, and sand to ensure good drainage and plenty of nutrients.
This Ficus has broad leaves that should be dusted regularly to ensure it is photosynthesizing all the light it can get.
