Braided Benjamina Ficus Treebute: A Living Tribute of Grace and Strength

The Braided Benjamina Ficus is known for its elegant, glossy leaves and distinctive braided trunk. It's created by weaving multiple young stems together as they grow, forming a unified whole from individual parts. As your Braided Ficus grows and flourishes indoors, its intertwined trunk becomes a lasting symbol of lives beautifully woven together.

Each Treebute Kit is a complete living memorial plant kit designed to be cared for at home - a hands-on ritual that many people find grounding during grief. Planting gives your hands something purposeful to do and creates a living connection to your beloved pet.

Why You'll Love the Braided Benjamina Ficus

• Lives Woven Together: The braided trunk tells a story - separate stems that have grown together, supporting each other as one. It's a beautiful metaphor for the special bond with your pet.
• Exceptional Longevity: With proper care, a Benjamina Ficus can thrive for 20 to 50 years. This isn't a temporary tribute; it's a living legacy that can grow alongside you for a lifetime.
• Air-Purifying Presence: Beyond its beauty, the Benjamina Ficus is a powerhouse air purifier - NASA research identified it as effective at removing formaldehyde, benzene, and other toxins from indoor air. Your memorial tree quietly works to cleanse and freshen your space, a gentle presence that continues to care for you.
• Elegant Beauty: Features a slender braided trunk, glossy green leaves, and graceful, arching branches add movement and softness to your space. The Benjamina Braided Ficus brings evergreen beauty you can see and enjoy daily, not just seasonally.
• Adaptable and Resilient: Thrives in a variety of light conditions and grows beautifully with minimal maintenance.

Each tree's braided trunk pattern is slightly different, making your memorial truly one of a kind.

Nurturing Your Memorial Tree

• Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal - place near a window but out of harsh direct sun. East or west-facing windows work beautifully. The tree will lean toward light, so rotate occasionally for even growth.
• Water: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Water thoroughly until it drains from the bottom, then empty the saucer. The rhythm is typically every 7-10 days, but let the soil guide you.
• Humidity: Appreciates humidity around 50-60%. Misting the leaves occasionally or placing a tray of water nearby helps, especially in winter when indoor air is dry.
• Temperature: Prefers consistent warmth between 65-75°F during the day and no cooler than 55°F at night. Keep away from drafts, heating vents, and air conditioning.

A Note on Leaf Drop:

Ficus are sensitive to change and may drop some leaves when moved to a new environment. This is normal -  give it some time, and it’ll bounce back beautiful as ever. 

Each moment caring for your tree becomes a quiet act of remembrance.

Optional: Plant With Cremation Ash - The Treebute® Difference

For those wishing to incorporate pet cremation ashes, your kit includes the option to add Treebute® organic soil blend. This specially formulated mixture creates a safe, nurturing foundation for your tree - transforming ashes into living growth.

Your tree is meaningful with or without ashes - this is simply another way to honor someone you love.
