What’s special about the Starlight Weeping Fig?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarlight is a variegated version of the classic Ficus benjamina. Its leaves have creamy-white edges that catch the light, giving it a brighter, more decorative look than the all-green type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e2. Will it grow well inside a UAE apartment?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. It’s suited for indoor life in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Keep it in a bright spot without harsh midday sun, away from AC blasts and doorways that get drafty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e3. How do I keep the white parts of the leaves from turning brown?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe white areas are delicate.
