About this plant
Ficus Joy is a compact cultivar of the Bengal fig, Ficus benghalensis 'Joy'. It has thick, oval to rounded leaves in a soft, matte green with pale veins, carried on sturdy upright stems. It stays more compact than the species and has a calm, solid look.
In Dubai it is a good indoor tree. Its thick leaves handle air conditioning and dry indoor air better than thin-leaved figs, and it is less prone to sudden leaf drop than weeping figs. It needs bright, indirect light near a window to stay full, and it will lean toward the light, so turn it now and then. Let the topsoil dry between waterings and keep it out of direct vent airflow.
It works in living rooms, home offices, receptions and meeting rooms. We offer it at 100–120 cm and 120–140 cm, both floor sizes.

Care Guide for Dubai Homes
How to keep Ficus Joy healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Bright, indirect light; tolerates medium light. 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: never turning the pot, so the plant grows lopsided toward the window. Where it works: living rooms, home offices, receptions and meeting rooms.
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).
