I've found that the umbrella plants do MUCH better than ficus. I don't know if this is due to them being able to handle the excessive water much better or just the anger of the Ficus gods at me personally. I usually have to trim the umbrella plant's every 3 months or so.
Hope that helps.

Dennis-
If you are having difficulties with your ficus trees being over watered, try pothos. There roots will not rot. If you want more of a tree then the Umbrella will also be a good choice. Hope this helps!
