Ficus benghalensis, also known as the Banyan tree, is considered to be the national tree of India. It is known for its large size in the wild and extensive aerial roots that can eventually grow to support the trunk of the tree itself! These trees can grow up to 100ft tall and some grow wider than they do tall! These potentially mammoth trees also make excellent indoor potted plants and grow on average to 5-10ft while indoors. Banyan trees like moist well draining soil, but do have some degree of drought tolerance. They need at least partial sunlight and temperatures above 65 degrees F for optimal growth. It is recommended you look up specific Ficus care to ensure you are giving the optimal care to these plants.

The appropriately named Ficus religiosa species is a plant of spiritual significance in 3 major Indian religions(Hinduism,Buddhism, & Jainism). Also known as Peepal, Asvattha,or Bodhi tree, it has long been regarded by Hindu and Jain asetics as an ideal sacred spot for meditation. Gautauma Buddha is known to have attained enlightment while meditating under a Peepal tree. The exact tree came to be known as the Bodhi Tree. Peepal is known for its unique leaf shape. It is not uncommon for its large leaves to be used as canvases for paintings. They also sport impessive trunks that rival their cousins, the Banyan tree. They are able to survive various climates and conditons.
