Details
The Weeping Fig (*Ficus benjamina*) is a well‐loved tropical tree with slender, arching branches and glossy leaves. Available in both lush green and striking variegated forms, this plant brings height, structure, and a touch of the jungle to any large reptile setup.
These plants are ideal for arboreal reptiles who need vertical space and hiding areas. They thrive in bright, indirect light and prefer consistent warmth and moderate humidity. Choose between a large or extra tall size to suit your enclosure's space and needs.
