Featured plant: Weeping Fig

Weeping Fig(Ficus benjamina). Perennial, in all but tropical areas, must be grown indoors.  Often used in shopping malls because of its tolerance to low light and humidity, it is a perfect houseplant. It likes moderate to good light, which includes some sunlight. It can also take some shade. It needs moderate water in the summer and only enough to keep it from drying out in the winter. If the amount of light changes, as in it is moved to a darker area, it will drop all of its leaves and regrow new ones. When it does this, it is a little disturbing, but it will recover. For the best growth, fertilize regularly. 

What is offered is 100 seeds. Germination instructions will accompany the seed. NOTE: germination is often erratic and can be lengthy.
