"Ficus benjamina is a native of the tropics of India, Southeast Asia and Australia, where it is warm, wet and frequently windy (hence the small leaves, in contrast with other Ficus species, such as F. Elastica or F. Lyrata, that have big leaves to capture as much light as possible nearer the forest floor)
Young plants often develop from seeds lodged in the branches of other trees, soon producing aerial roots which reach down to the ground. Gradually they surround the host trunk and in time fuse together to strangle the tree that gave the seedling its head start in life. This means that even from an early stage in their life, they are found high up in the forest canopy where there is ample light."
