The plant forms a dense, airy crown that works well in Scandinavian interiors where greenery is used to soften clean lines and neutral materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ‘Golden King’ stands out for its clear contrast: rich green centres with light margins that read fresh even at a distance. The foliage is naturally elegant and slightly cascading, making it a good choice when you want height and volume without a heavy silhouette. Like many ficus varieties, it prefers stability—once you find the right spot, it will reward you with steady growth and a full, tidy shape.\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.

It also suits offices and bedrooms where you want a vertical plant that reads light and refined. Choose a spot with consistent conditions—frequent moving can cause temporary leaf drop. Rotate the pot every couple of weeks for even growth and a balanced crown.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCare tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse a well-draining indoor plant mix and a pot with drainage when repotting. Wipe leaves occasionally with a soft, damp cloth to keep the foliage glossy and to help the plant photosynthesise efficiently. If the plant drops some leaves after moving or a seasonal change, reduce watering slightly and keep the light steady—new growth typically follows once it settles. Prune lightly in spring to maintain shape and encourage branching.\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\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ficus benjamina ‘Golden King’\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePot size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ø21 cm (grow pot)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApprox. height:\u003c\/strong\u003e ↕100 cm (measured including pot)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MEERgroothandel Planten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53040806854999,"sku":"29020","price":104.85,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/4552\/4311\/files\/ff1dd5bc-7817-4128-b0cf-487c9d14161d_1200x1200_fill.jpg?v=1773782212","url":"https:\/\/emirelle.com\/products\/ficus-benjamina-golden-king-21-cm-o21cm-%e2%86%95100cm","provider":"EMIRELLE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
