Ficus benjamina 'Profit' 140 CM

Overview and Features

Ficus benjamina ‘Profit’ is a compact and bushy cultivar of the classic Weeping Fig, specially selected for its dense foliage, strong growth, and improved adaptability as a houseplant. This variety is particularly valued for its lush green, glossy leaves and tidy, upright habit, making it ideal for indoor use in homes, offices, or public buildings.

Unlike traditional forms of Ficus benjamina which can be finicky and prone to leaf drop, 'Profit' tends to be more resilient to indoor conditions, including lower light and air fluctuations.

• Glossy dark green leaves, oval and slightly pointed

• Naturally bushy, upright form—easy to shape and maintain

• Grows up to 1.5–2 m indoors, but stays smaller in pots

• Helps purify indoor air and create a calming green presence

• Perfect for offices, living rooms, foyers, and conservatories

Ficus benjamina ‘Profit’ is generally easy to care for but responds best to consistent conditions and the right balance of light, water, and temperature.

• Light Requirements:

  • Prefers bright, indirect light

  • Tolerates some direct morning light, but avoid strong afternoon sun

  • Will adapt to medium light, but growth may slow

  • Use a well-draining indoor potting mix

• Pruning and Shaping:

  • Prune lightly to control size and encourage bushiness

  • Can be trained into standards or bonsai forms if desired

  • Remove yellow or fallen leaves regularly to maintain plant health
