Weeping Fig
You put out leaf after leaf in bright places, growing as you check in with the people around you.
The weeping fig is a tree in the same family as the rubber plant, with lots of small, glossy leaves. It likes sunny spots and tends to grow quickly. It's often sold with several trunks braided together.
Like a weeping fig putting out new leaves one after another by a bright window, you start on ideas as soon as they come to you and keep reshaping things as you go. You're at your best in lively, sunny places, with people nearby to talk things over with.
Weeping figs are said to drop leaves if they're suddenly moved somewhere new. When you move to a new place or a new group, you find yourself reaching out to people more often at first. During those times, don't hold back — spending more time talking with people helps you settle in sooner.
