Does any one know how to care for a weeping fig ficus tree? what kind of soil, when to water it? any thing.?

Answer 2

This particlar plant needs to be in the hands of someone who knows how to look after it. Under ideal conditions, such as Sun and humidity it will thrive.  It is a beautiful and longlasting plant. It can be an indoor plant permanently or it can be transferred to the garden in the summer. It will not survive temeratures of -28F  Its a plant whose size you can control, by restricting the root ball, meaning that the more room you give the roots the bigger the plant will get. It can grow to 10ft high. It is suseptable to infection of a bug called "Thrips"a small red mite who seem to be very determined to eat the plant, so you need a good insecticidE. As for the amount of water it will need it should be kept moist not soaked. It really loves a water spray all over in conditions of central heating or high room temperatures. If you keep the plant indoors, put it in the greatest volumn of light and LEAVE it there it does not like to be moved. It does not produce a flower, just nice shiny green leaves. If the leaves do start to drop, stop watering. This small piece of info, I know is not a lot, but it is all I can tell you, I hope it helps.

Answer 3

They are called weeping figs because they "weep" leaves. Every day you'll find a dozen on the floor. I've tried everything. Wet, dry, fertilizer...you name it. They always cry themselves to death!
