Chandelier^® Happiness^™ Banyan Tree Ficus benghalensis

With leaves that hang like the airy lights of a chandelier, Ficus bengalensis or Chandelier ‘Happiness’ is sure to brighten up any space and put a smile on your face. Also known as a Banyan Tree fig, this ficus is a delightful alternative to the finicky fiddle leaf fig. Native to India, where it thrives as a grand canopy tree, Chandelier ‘Happiness’ can be grown into a graceful, upright & well-mannered shape in your home; in years it will have a tree form.  It has smooth, light-colored stems that grow woody over time, and oval-shaped leaves of medium green, with contrasting, light-colored veining and irresistible peach fuzz coating. To keep your ‘Happiness’ its happiest, and prevent it from growing overly leggy, give it as much bright light as possible and keep it away from cold drafts in winter.
