Wintergreen Weeping Fig Tree - Ficus - Great Indoor Tree for Low Light - 8" Pot

I ordered this ficus and was unexpectedly out of town when it arrived. I had forgotten to ask my husband to unbox it immediately. It sat for days before I got home and unwrapped it. Though it was slightly wilted from my mistake, the healthy plant was able to bounce back within hours of being unwrapped and watered. It was obvious the plant had been shipped properly and must have been in excellent condition to last that long laying on its side in a dark box. You will want to repot the tree (after letting it recover from shipping stress of course). The pot it came in was filled to the top with soil which makes watering difficult. Eventually I want it in a large pot but I will incrementally increase the pot size to prevent an environment that hinders keeping the soil evenly moist and the root system vigorous and free from rot. I will definitely buy from this seller again. It’s hard to find much variety of houseplants in my local garden center and I’m so pleased mail order worked out so well. UPDATE 2023 the tree is now about 4 years old! I have pruned it up like a tree instead of a bush and it is about 3 feet tall. I keep it in my office except in the summer months it is on my porch outside (full shade). Has stayed very healthy and pest-free. I don’t think it can get any bigger in the size pot I have it in and it is perfect for me.

I ordered my ficus tree about a month ago and was very satisfied with my purchase. The tree I received wasnt three feet tall like others have said but it was about two feet from the soil up. I potted it up as soon as I got it and watered it throughly with lukewarm water and a few drops of dishwashing soap to deter any small bugs from infesting the soil. I sat the plant outside in a cool shaded area on the side of my house to breathe and soak up some indirect sunlight. To my surprise it rained the following day and I knew the ficus would get a great start from the good rain water. I have had the ficus about a month now and after about three weeks in the shade I moved it into a sunnier location in my yard. I noticed this plant hasnt lost any branches or leaves since I got it. I think I want to keep it pruned to about four feet when it grows to that height and root the clippings for more plants. In my opinion this is a very healthy and durable plant. Its also fun to watch it grow and produce beautiful green shiny leaves that glisten in the hot summer sunlight. I had a good experience with this seller and I would recommend everyone to purchase a ficus tree from them.

beautiful plant, suffered a bit from the shipping, but after TLC the plant is thriving w healthy leafs and growing well.the plant was not as pictured, a bit thinner, but it's starting to fill out.

This plant arrived very well-packed and healthy. Shipping had been delayed along the route and was in transit for 12 days (not the fault of the vendor). Soil was fairly but not bone dry and plant a little droopy but perked right up after a good watering. Did not drop any leaves or exhibit yellowing or dead leaves after it's arduous journey. The plant is very full and over 18 inches tall so it makes a good presentation right off the bat. I re-potted it into a 12 inch pot, and it looks great (not dwarfed by the size of the pot). Would recommend this vendor. I'll buy from them again.

Roaches in dirt

The ficus dimensions were considerably shorter and narrower than those mentioned in the description. The image depicts a lush medium sized plant full of leaves and that isn’t exactly what arrived. Instead, it’s on the shorter side (what you would expect from a 4” sized potted ficus) and I am hoping with time and care it will grow taller and bushy like the image is. The plant itself was well wrapped and packaged nicely and the soil was sealed within the pot so it did not arrive messy, which I appreciate. Some of the leaves had minor damage but the plant over all seems healthy and okay. Not spectacular but decent. Update: I have had this plant for a couple of weeks now and I VERY happy with how it has adjusted to its trip here. It has grown four inches already (I measured as an example for my students in plant growth rate comparison.) The leaves are filling out nicely and once I cleaned the leaves to remove dust and water spots (I use a tiny amount of coconut oil on a cotton ball) it looks great. I would give it a five stars with the packaging but I am taking away one star (should only be half a star) because of thinness of plant during its arrival should be noted for plant beginners. Would I buy this plant again from this company? Yes. I have even purchased a couple more to see how make the trip. This plant is a welcomed addition to my little collection during distance learning. It is a lovely shade of dark green and doing very well and is growing extremely well for me. Thank you Hirts.

Lost some leaves but that’s expected with shipping and adapting

This came packaged so well that not a leaf was missing or in the box! Upon carefully unwrapping it was very apparent that this was a beautiful and healthy plant and not one that would have been sitting around a nursery or home improvement store for months. I followed the directions and put it in a quiet and serene place with a nice drink of water and hours later it was stretched out and gorgeous! This was on a family members wish list and I was understandably nervous to purchase this online for a gift, however I have purchased another plant months ago from this seller and it came more beautiful than in the advertising photo, so I took a chance. This was better and easier than hunting around for a beautiful ficus and at a great price. I am very pleased and I am sure that the person receiving the gift will be very happy Highly recommend
