This live houseplant is delivered at approximately \u003cstrong\u003e25 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e in height in a \u003cstrong\u003eØ12 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e nursery pot, making it easy to place on a windowsill, shelf, desk, or sideboard. The plant is recognised for its broad, deep-green leaves with clear, pale veining—an understated look that suits Scandinavian interiors and everyday living.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFicus benghalensis grows upright with a sturdy central stem and thick, oval leaves that hold their shape well. Over time, it can develop into a fuller, small indoor tree if given consistent light and a stable spot. Like other ficus varieties, it benefits from routine rather than frequent change: once you find the right placement and watering rhythm, it becomes a reliable, low-fuss green element in the home.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePlant care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright, indirect light is ideal.

If you prefer a softer, more minimal look, set the nursery pot inside a heavier outer planter; the plant’s upright form and clean leaf lines work well against light walls, natural wood, and muted textiles.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCare tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFicus plants appreciate consistency. Turn the pot slightly every couple of weeks for even growth and keep the leaves dust-free by wiping them gently with a damp cloth—this helps the plant photosynthesise efficiently and keeps the foliage looking crisp. If you repot later, choose a pot with drainage holes and an airy houseplant mix; a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one supports healthy root development without holding excess moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eShipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis plant is shipped directly from a Netherlands grower to ensure freshness and plant health during transport.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePlant information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Live indoor plant (houseplant)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ficus benghalensis\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePot size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ø12 cm nursery pot\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight at delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 25 cm (measured including the pot)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MEERgroothandel Planten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53040828449111,"sku":"9639","price":41.85,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/4552\/4311\/files\/cc3d454e-38e2-4149-8fcd-2bde033af9a9_1200x1200_fill.jpg?v=1773782313","url":"https:\/\/emirelle.com\/products\/ficus-benghalensis-deep-green-broad-leaves","provider":"EMIRELLE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
