Delivered at an approximate height of \u003cstrong\u003e95 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e in a \u003cstrong\u003eØ21 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e grow pot, it comes with the \u003cstrong\u003eMayk Gold\u003c\/strong\u003e decorative pot for a clean, finished look. The plant is trained upright on a support stake, helping it keep a neat, vertical shape in the home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ‘Golden King’ cultivar is valued for its dense foliage and lighter leaf pattern, which reads calm and natural against pale walls, wood tones, and stone surfaces. Like other ficus varieties, it responds best to a stable routine and an even environment—once settled, it becomes a dependable green structure in minimalist interiors.\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 works well as a slim floor plant beside a sofa, next to a hallway console, or in a calm office corner where it brings greenery without taking up much footprint. Because ficus can react to frequent changes, choose one spot and let it acclimatise.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCare tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurn the plant a quarter turn every week or two to encourage even growth. Wipe the leaves with a soft, damp cloth to keep them dust-free and able to photosynthesise efficiently. Feed with a balanced houseplant fertiliser monthly during spring and summer; reduce to every 6–8 weeks in winter. If a few leaves drop after moving or repotting, this is a common adjustment—keep the care routine steady and new growth typically follows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe included \u003cstrong\u003eMayk Gold\u003c\/strong\u003e pot adds a warm metallic accent. To protect surfaces, use a saucer or inner liner if watering in place, and ensure excess water can drain away from the roots.\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\u003eSpecies \/ variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ficus benjamina ‘Golden King’\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate size at delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e ↨95 cm, Ø21 cm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePot included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, decorative pot Mayk Gold included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MEERgroothandel Planten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53040812097879,"sku":"7086","price":227.85,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/4552\/4311\/files\/eb91d8e6-192f-4a23-ae9f-b70f8dfd38c5_1200x1200_fill.jpg?v=1773782252","url":"https:\/\/emirelle.com\/products\/ficus-benjamina-golden-king-variegated-green","provider":"EMIRELLE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
