About this plant
This is a weeping fig (Ficus benjamina) trained and clipped into a tidy cylinder or column shape. Dense, small, glossy green leaves cover the plant from top to bottom, giving a clean, architectural form that fits formal and modern interiors where a spreading tree would take too much space.
In Dubai it is grown here as an indoor plant. It copes with air conditioning but needs plenty of bright, indirect light, ideally near a large window, to stay dense. Weeping figs are sensitive to change and often drop leaves after a move, a cold draft or a sudden shift in light, so pick its spot and leave it there. Let the topsoil dry slightly between waterings and keep it clear of AC vents.
It works in pairs at entrances, beside doorways, in hotel and office lobbies and along bright corridors. We offer it at 100–120 cm and 120–150 cm, in a nursery pot or a ceramic pot.

Care Guide for Dubai Homes
How to keep Ficus Benjamina Cylinder healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Bright, indirect light; very bright spot near a window. Keep it out of harsh direct afternoon sun in summer.
Watering
Every 7–10 days indoors, when the top 3–5 cm of soil is dry; less in winter. Water when the top 2 to 3 cm of soil feels dry, empty the saucer afterwards, and check the soil before you water: AC slows how fast the plant uses water.
Care notes
Soil: well-draining indoor potting mix with bark or perlite. Feeding: balanced liquid feed every 4 weeks from March to October. Common mistake: letting it grow unclipped, which blurs the column shape; trim new shoots lightly every few weeks. Where it works: entrances, doorways, lobbies and bright corridors, often in matching pairs.
AC and air flow
Keep it at least 1 metre from AC vents. Cold air blowing straight onto the leaves dries the edges.
Cleaning the leaves
Dust settles quickly in Dubai homes. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks so they keep taking in light.
Feeding and repotting
Feed once a month from March to October. Repot every 2 years into a pot one size up, or book a Plant Doctor visit and we do it for you.
Pets
Listed by the ASPCA as toxic to cats and dogs (ficin and ficusin in the milky sap; can cause stomach upset and skin irritation).
