The long-leafed fig, with its gently weeping habit, is enjoying a resurgence as a popular large-scale house plant. It is a tough performer that demands little care and will tolerate lower-light interiors. Smaller specimens can sit on shelves or cabinets.

We love its graceful weeping habit and how it performs as an indoor tree.

If you’d like this plant to grow bigger, repot into a larger pot or planter and place it in a spot with good filtered light. In the right conditions, it will become a small indoor tree.
