The Ficus benjamina, commonly known as weeping fig or benjamin fig or even just Ficus tree, is an evergreen native to Asia and Australia. Midnight Beauty is a very popular house plant because of its graceful darker drooping branchlets and glossy green leaves. Position your Ficus benjamina in a bright sunny position in your home (but will also tolerate shade) but is sensitive to cold so protect it from strong drafts.
7"/18cm pot | Buxus sempervirens suffruticosa
A glossy green, rounded leaf box hedging plant
• Used for low to medium hedging and topiary
• Planted in the garden, along borders, pathways and in pots
• Tolerates shady positions |
| Content | | | If your looking for a small hedging plant then this is the one for you. Dutch Box is a dwarf box that grows with dense, glossy green foliage and works well in shaded areas.
Dutch Box also likes part shade in moist, well-drained soil, but will tolerate a wide range of soils and conditions. It should be clipped to maintain a formal shape.
Slight yellow discolouration of the leaves on Dutch box may occur during cooler months, but don't worry, this is normal! This is remedied by applying with Dolomite Lime, and a slow release fertilizer a month later. Or you can just leave your Dutch Box alone and it will come back lovely and green and spring.
