Nina, a Ficus Nina or Ficus Benjamina Nina or weeping fig tree, has beautiful shades of green outlined with a creamy white halo. What's special about Nina, is that her stem or trunk is twisted, or entwined around itself, not something you see every day.
Native to India, Southeast Asia and Australia, Nina is great for air purifying and can remove toxins such as formaldehyde and benzene from the air. Nina is a compact growing variant, which means she'll only reach around 2-3 feet.
Nadine, Ficus Benjamina Nina
Nina prefers bright indirect light to partial shade, without prolonged exposure to direct sun - a touch of morning sunlight wouldn’t go a miss.
If you’re not sure what level of light you have, check the shadows cast by your plant:
- Minimal shadow = lower light
- Half shadow = indirect light
- Full shadow = direct sun
