    Howeia Forsteriana
    Light: Find an area that receives indirect light through a window; it does not necessarily need to be an extremely bright spot. Water: Water only when the top inch of soil starts to dry out. Over watering can lead to root rot if the soil mix does not drain fast enough. Fertilizer: Excessive fertilization may cause the tips of lower leaves to turn brown and die. Browning of leaves can also be caused by dry air and/or lack of water.

    Ficus benjamini/ Weeping fig tree
    Water: Plant in well draining soil: the plant should not be over-watered. These trees, like many indoor plants, benefit from a good ‘flushing' of the salts out of the soil one to two times a year. To do this, take the tree outside (when it's warm) in a shady spot and flood the soil with water several times to leach out the accumulated salts. Light: Keep plants in as high a light situation as possible without being in too much direct sunlight. Temperature: Ideal temperatures have been list between 75F- 85F during the day (24C-26C) and 10F-15F cooler at night (60F-70F, or 18C-21C). Care: High humidity is good for the overall health of this plant. Cleaning the leaves frequently by gently wiping off the dust is also recommended. This not only makes the plant look better (glossier) but also keeps the leaves ‘breathing' well.
