This plant is delivered at an approximate height of \u003cstrong\u003e120 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e in a \u003cstrong\u003eØ27 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e nursery pot, making it a ready-to-place floor plant for living rooms, offices, and calm, minimalist interiors. The image shows a trained, gently twisted trunk with a rounded crown—an easy way to add greenery with clear lines and a tidy silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFicus benjamina is valued for its dense foliage and its ability to soften hard surfaces such as plaster walls, glass, and wood. ‘Exotica’ has slightly thicker, deeper green leaves than many standard varieties, giving the plant a fuller look even when styled simply in a clean cachepot. Like most ficus, it prefers consistency: stable light, steady temperatures, and a predictable watering rhythm.\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.

In offices, it works well near a windowed wall to bring softness and focus without taking up much floor area. If you choose a more shaded position, keep the placement consistent and rotate the plant a little every few weeks for even growth.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCare tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConsistency matters.\u003c\/strong\u003e Ficus benjamina can drop a few leaves after moving; this is a normal response to a new environment. Avoid frequent repositioning once you find a good spot. Wipe leaves with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and help the plant photosynthesise efficiently. During the growing season (spring and summer), a mild houseplant fertiliser once a month supports steady, compact growth. Repotting is typically needed every 1–2 years, or when roots begin to circle the inside of the pot.\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 \/ indoor tree\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ficus benjamina ‘Exotica’\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e ↕120 cm, nursery pot Ø27 cm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePot included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Delivered in a practical nursery pot (decorative outer pot not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MEERgroothandel Planten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53040801972567,"sku":"11907","price":248.85,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/4552\/4311\/files\/8931e70b-7d93-48bf-a695-289ac68bf9b9_1200x1200_fill.jpg?v=1773782182","url":"https:\/\/emirelle.com\/products\/ficus-benjamina-exotica-weeping-fig-green","provider":"EMIRELLE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
