Although the Ficus plant grows naturally in lowland tropical forests, it can thrive in a large range of environments. In its natural habitat, this ficus grows to a large and stately tree up to 100ft tall, so indoor growing may require pruning. Although it was determined that Ficus benjamina is effective at removing common household air toxins formaldehyde and xylene, it is also a source of allergies, especially for people allergic to latex. Not recommended for pet owners.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- pf-why-love --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pf-why-love\"\u003e\n  \u003ch3 style=\"margin:1.25rem 0 0.5rem;font-size:1.15rem\"\u003eWhy choose Ficus 'Breeze'\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eEye-catching bold, glossy leaves on an upright, tree-like form\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eA characterful, rewarding houseplant\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eApproachable, houseplant-friendly care\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLooks best: a bright spot with indirect light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- \/pf-why-love --\u003e\n\u003c!-- pf-receive --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pf-receive\"\u003e\n  \u003ch3 style=\"margin:1.25rem 0 0.5rem;font-size:1.15rem\"\u003eWhat you receive\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOne live Ficus 'Breeze', rooted in soil in a 6\" nursery pot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNursery pot and soil included; a decorative planter only if you select one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eLive plants vary in height, fullness and leaf count within the pot size you choose; we do not publish measured shipping heights.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- \/pf-receive --\u003e\n\u003c!-- pf-snapshot --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pf-snapshot\"\u003e\n  \u003ch3 style=\"margin:1.25rem 0 0.5rem;font-size:1.15rem\"\u003eWill it suit your home?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eFicus 'Breeze'\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright, with some gentle direct sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate — a little particular but rewarding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bold, glossy leaves on an upright, tree-like form.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grows into a fuller plant over time — mature size can vary by growing conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePet safety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not pet-safe — toxic to cats and dogs if eaten.
