the exposure is NEasterly, but they are large windows without blinds, so the room is quite bright, add that i then add regualr fluorecent light(from the ceiling) for an additional 7 hours in the room during the day(the trees are in my office), and once i figured out how to not overwater them the ficus have been awesome to me, they have handled a fall pruning without even blinking, maybe i have just lucked out with those 2
