Midnight Ficus

Categories ,

The Midnight Ficus, a stunning variety of Ficus benjamina, is known for its dense, glossy, dark green to almost black foliage, which creates a rich, elegant appearance in any indoor space. With its weeping branches and bushy growth habit, the Midnight Ficus adds texture and a tropical feel to homes and offices. As a compact and low-maintenance plant, it’s perfect for indoor settings, thriving in bright, indirect light while also being adaptable to low-light conditions. It’s an excellent choice for anyone looking to add a touch of lush greenery to their décor with minimal care.

Type of Light: Bright, Indirect Light to Low Light
The Midnight Ficus thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the dark, glossy leaves. Place it near a window with filtered light for optimal growth.

Watering: Moderate Water Requirement
Water the Midnight Ficus when the top inch of soil is dry, typically every 1-2 weeks. Ensure the soil drains well to avoid root rot, as the plant prefers slightly dry soil between waterings. Reduce watering in the cooler months when the plant’s growth slows.

Companion Planting:
Midnight Ficus pairs well with other indoor plants like Peace Lily, Philodendron, or ZZ Plant, creating a diverse yet cohesive indoor garden. It also works beautifully alongside Dracaena ‘Lemon Lime’ or Spider Plant, offering contrasting textures and foliage colors. These plants share similar light and watering needs, making for a harmonious, low-maintenance indoor display.
