How to care for a weeping fig?

I found a big abandoned weeping fig in a pot on it's side outside my flat! I've brought it inside, so um, I how do I look after it please? What particular conditions do they like? I'm not very good wih plants.

How to care for a weeping fig?
depends which variety you have;weeping fig-ficus benjamina-prefers moderate light-not direct sunlight.shaded conditions suit it best.A warm temperature,with lots of ambient moisture-a tray of pebbles in water is a good idea-to stand it on.To grow it,a loam mixture of peat %26amp; soil,with weak feed is best.You can propogate by rooting cuttings(taken during the growing season)ia peat/sand mixture,and some leaves will fall off even a newly-bought plant.keep the glossy leaves clean with leaf-shine wipes.Good Luck.!!!P.S; be warned-it can grow to 2 metres tall!!
