There is a story behind my new Ficus that started in 1996 when I made a big move. I left behind my home and migrated to a bigger city. I was looking for better job opportunities. I moved my girls into a tiny 2 bedroom apartment that was sufficient for the time being. I hadn't been able to bring much to furnish our new home with. My brother dropped by my apartment one day with a pallet of tiny, weather beaten plants. There were about five of them and they definitely need plenty of TLC. He had rescued them from a Walmart dumpster. Imagine someone who will grow anything they can finally getting some new house plants! I was so elated.
