  • FEATURES

    With leaves that hang like the airy lights of a chandelier, Ficus bengalensis or Chandelier ‘Happiness’ is sure to brighten up any space and put a smile on your face. Also known as a Banyan Tree fig, this ficus is a delightful alternative to the finicky fiddle leaf fig. Native to India, where it thrives as a grand canopy tree, Chandelier ‘Happiness’ can be grown into a graceful, upright & well-mannered shape in your home; in years it will have a tree form.  It has smooth, light-colored stems that grow woody over time, and oval-shaped leaves of medium green, with contrasting, light-colored veining and irresistible peach fuzz coating. To keep your ‘Happiness’ its happiest, and prevent it from growing overly leggy, give it as much bright light as possible and keep it away from cold drafts in winter.

    Maintenance Notes: 
    • For optimal performance, keep your Ficus at 60-85°F (15-29°C). 
    • Be sure to position your Ficus away from cold drafts and forced air. 
    • Ficuses thrive in bright, indirect light. They are not low light plants and should be placed near a window.  East- or west-facing windows are good choices. 
    • Ficuses prefer to dry out some in between waterings. Allow the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry out before giving your Ficus a good soaking. 
    • Feed your Ficus once per month at half strength when it is actively growing. Reduce frequency of fertilization in the winter months. 
    • Protect furniture when watering & fertilizing
    • When repotting your Ficus, use all purpose potting mix with added orchid bark, perlite, and sand to ensure good drainage and plenty of nutrients. 
    • This Ficus has broad leaves that should be dusted regularly to ensure it is photosynthesizing all the light it can get.
