Ficus Midnight Petite
Ficus Benjamina Midnight Petite
The plant, by the plant
Dark, glossy and dressed for the evening - I'm Midnight Petite, the near-black-leafed member of the weeping fig family. My leaves are so deep a green they catch the light like polished shoes. Small name, sharp wardrobe.
Despite the 'petite', I'm a proper little tree in the making - slow, tidy and dense. Bright indirect light please, water when my topsoil dries, and let my soil breathe between drinks. Family flex: my species is the official tree of Bangkok.
What you'll get (no surprises):
- Large - 200mm nursery pot, a dense, compact specimen
I arrive in my grower's nursery pot, ready for a stylish upgrade.
Pets: mildly irritating sap - best left unchewed.
Match my midnight vibes with a Pierre Terrazzo Pot in Black and keep the shine on with The Good Plant Co Leaf Shine.
🌱 One tree planted with every order.

Care tips
Can be pruned once it gets to a height and width you prefer in your home or garden. Pruning regularly will help maintain a tidy growth habit. Fertilise in the warmer months.
Feeding
To get the best out of your indoor plants, you will need to feed them some food. The Good Plant Co Indoor Plant Food will provide all the nutrients they need to grow more leaves and help them stay strong. When the plant is actively growing during the warmer months, it needs a bit more food and water. During the slow growing season (cooler winter months) your plant doesn’t eat or drink as much (no extra winter layer of fat for these babies). Sometimes it’s ok to be a helicopter parent – respond to your plant’s needs. To keep the dust off your beautiful indoor plant leaves use The Good Plant Co Leaf Shine. Moral of the story, if it is growing new leaves then it will need more water and food!
