Ficus Makana

Origin
The Ficus Makana, also known as the Ficus Benjamina, has its origin in Southeast Asia and Australia. In these regions, the plant grows in tropical and subtropical climates. The plant is part of the Moraceae family, which also includes plants such as the fig.

Characteristics
The Ficus Makana is recognisable by its slender and long leaves that have a deep green colour. The plant can grow into a large shrub or small tree, depending on the conditions. The trunk of the plant is characterised by its grey colour and slightly curved shape. Another distinctive feature of this plant is its growth habit, where new shoots emerge from the side branches.

Care
Caring for a Ficus Makana requires some attention. The plant prefers a spot with plenty of light, but not directly in the sun. The soil must be constantly lightly moistened, but without an excess of water forming, as this can be harmful to the roots. Regular pruning is recommended to keep the plant compact and in shape. One must also ensure that the plant is not exposed to large fluctuations in temperature.
