Ficus Benjamina ‘Natasja’ (Natasja Weeping Fig) is a compact evergreen indoor plant featuring dense branching and small, glossy green leaves with elegant pointed tips. Its naturally bushy, miniature tree-like form creates an attractive display without occupying as much space as larger Weeping Fig varieties, making it ideal for desks, shelves, offices, reception areas and bright indoor living spaces.
This refined foliage plant is an excellent choice for customers wanting a stylish and versatile indoor feature. It responds well to light pruning and can be shaped into a compact shrub, small indoor tree or bonsai-style specimen. Provide bright, filtered light, free-draining potting mix and consistent care, as sudden changes in light, temperature or position may cause temporary leaf drop.
Collapsible content
Mature height
Approximately 60–120 cm indoors, although older plants may grow taller when provided with a larger container and left unpruned. These dimensions are approximate because final size depends heavily on the pot size, growing conditions and pruning.
Mature width
Approximately 40–80 cm when container-grown and regularly pruned.
Spacing
Approximately 60–100 cm apart when used in a frost-free garden or indoor display arrangement. Allow sufficient space around container plants for airflow and balanced canopy development.
Evergreen/Deciduous
Evergreen
Foliage
Small, glossy deep-green leaves with lighter green new growth; grey-brown woody stems.
Flowering Period & Fruit Development/Harvest
Flowers are tiny and enclosed within small fig-like fruits. Flowering and fruiting are generally insignificant and uncommon when grown indoors.
Sun tolerance
Bright, indirect or filtered sunlight is preferred. It may tolerate moderate light, although growth can become slower and less dense. Protect indoor plants from harsh direct afternoon sun.
Maintenance
Low to moderate. Water when the upper layer of potting mix begins to dry, allowing excess water to drain completely. Avoid sudden changes in position, light or temperature. Prune lightly during active growth to maintain a dense, compact shape and remove damaged or unwanted branches.
Root System
Fibrous and vigorous, but easily managed when container-grown. Use a pot with adequate drainage and avoid leaving the plant in standing water. When planted outdoors in frost-free climates, the species should be kept away from pipes, paving and other structures because its roots can become extensive.
