Origin
The Ficus benghalensis 'Roy' is a robust, tropical plant species originally from India and Pakistan where it primarily grows in tropical rainforests. The plant, also known as the Indian Rubber Tree, is considered sacred there and plays a significant role in various traditional rituals.

Characteristics
Characteristic of the Ficus benghalensis 'Roy' are the large, glossy dark green leaves that have an elliptical shape. This species often reaches a considerable height and can form a wide crown under ideal conditions. It is recognised for its aerial roots, which help the plant anchor in the soil and potentially form new trunks.

Care
The care of the Ficus benghalensis 'Roy' requires consistent conditions. The plant benefits from a bright, but indirect light source and constantly warm temperatures between 16 and 24 degrees Celsius. Regular watering is necessary, allowing the soil to lightly dry out between waterings. For optimal growth, it is also recommended to repot the plant every two years in the spring with fresh potting soil.
