Ficus benjamina, commonly known as the Weeping Fig, Benjamin’s Fig, or the Ficus Tree and often sold in stores as just a “Ficus”, is a species of fig tree, native to south and southeast Asia and Australia. We love our ficus, and have a massive tree that is 30+ years in our living room. This is our smaller plant, and is getting its daily drink from HydroSpike. The trees can grow large, so when on vacation, put in a few HydroSpikes, especially in warm weather. The tree will need the hydration if gone for a couple of weeks.

Bought a set of these for my wife’s office plants. So far they work exactly as advertised and the plants are healthy and happy. I used one in a six inch pot and two in a 12 inch and that seems adequate.
For folks that are having trouble with over watering, make sure that the water jar is BELOW the bottom tip of the watering stake. (which is mentioned in the instructions but the illustration is vague) If it is level or above the water stake will draw too much water.
