Fine branches fall away from an upright trunk, set close with small leaves.

It notices a change of place. Leaves may drop just after delivery or after being moved, and that settles once the position does, so leave it in one spot and wait for the new growth.

Water generously once the surface of the compost has dried, and mist the leaves in a dry room to bring the shine back. The white sap that comes from a broken leaf or stem can irritate skin, so keep children and pets from handling it.

A benjamin fig is common currency as an opening gift in Korea, and the shop or office it is sent to usually keeps it on the floor for years.

Looking after it

Light Bright indoors, out of direct sun. Scorched leaves do not grow back.
Water When the top of the soil is dry, water until it runs out of the bottom. Little and often does more harm than good.
Air Somewhere the air moves. Roots suffer in a closed corner.
Winter Keep it above 10°C and out of the path of a heater.
Leaves Wipe the dust off now and then. Clean leaves breathe.

Questions people ask

A plant or a wreath for an opening?

A wreath stands outside on the day and announces the opening to everyone passing. A plant stays in the shop afterwards. Many people send a wreath for the day and a plant for the years after.

What size should I choose?

Decide where it will stand first. We have floor plants for a corner and smaller pots for a counter. Tell us the spot and we will suggest the size.

Will I know it arrived?

We send you a photograph once it is in place. Ask when you order if you want the room in the shot.

Can I change or cancel the order?

Until we start making it up, yes — message us on the live chat with your order number and we will change or cancel it and refund you in full. Once the florist has started, we can no longer change it.

Ficus Benjamina A

Slender branches hang downward with small leaves set closely along them. It is sensitive to a change of environment, so it may drop leaves just after delivery or after being moved; once it settles new shoots follow, so leave it in one place and give it time. Water generously when the surface soil has dried well, and in a dry room misting the leaves brings back the gloss. The white sap that comes from a damaged leaf or stem can irritate skin — keep children and pets from handling it.

Sending a plant to a Korean business

Potted foliage plants are the usual gift when a shop, office or clinic opens in Korea. They are placed by the entrance or the reception desk and stay there — the gift is meant to last rather than to be admired for a day.

A ribbon carrying your name and the occasion phrase is attached to the pot.

Delivered anywhere in South Korea within three hours, and we send you a photograph of the plant in place once it arrives. If the pot or plant size shown is unavailable on the day, we substitute the closest equivalent and tell you before we deliver.
