    Ficus Tree not growing
    Hi, my Ficus tree has been the same size as when I bought it 2 years ago. I appears healthy and I keep it in the same place. It just doesn't seem to get any fuller or bigger. Please tell me what I can do to help it along. Thanks

    There are so many various Ficus, including bonzai, dwarf, etc. It may be that you've got one that's as big as it's going to get... or one that just grows super slow...

    Do you know which type yours is?

    Hi Rick, It is a Ficus Benjamina. I feel sorry for it, the poor thing doesn't seem to get any bigger and I know that it is supposed to. I have seen ones that are huge. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Cheryl ;)

    Haha, the first link on the list says about ficus benjamina "the plant you love to hate"...

    Ficus Benjamina is a slow grower.

    Read the first few of these links for best care. If you want a faster grower/bigger plant, you'll just have to give Benjamina a fast growing brother. :p
