Delivered in a \u003cstrong\u003e12 cm nursery pot\u003c\/strong\u003e (P12) and at an \u003cstrong\u003eapproximate height of 20 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e, it’s an easy way to add calm greenery to smaller spaces—window ledges, shelves, desks, and clustered plant arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat distinguishes ‘Kinky’ from standard Ficus benjamina is its tighter, bushier growth and crisp variegation. The foliage is naturally layered, with slender stems that create a soft, upright dome rather than a tall, bare trunk. In Scandinavian interiors it reads clean and graphic: green and off-white against light walls, natural wood, and matte ceramics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFicus plants are known for adapting well to indoor life once they settle. Like many ficus varieties, ‘Kinky’ prefers a stable spot and consistent care—simple habits that help it keep its leaves and stay evenly shaped.\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 works well in a hallway with a light source, where its compact size won’t overwhelm the space. Rotate the pot every couple of weeks for even growth and a balanced silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCare tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFicus can drop some leaves after a move—this is a normal response to change. Choose a consistent position, avoid overwatering, and it will typically stabilise. Wipe leaves gently with a damp cloth to keep the variegation clear and to help the plant photosynthesise efficiently. If you want a denser look, pinch back soft tips in spring to 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 ‘Kinky’\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePot size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 cm (nursery pot)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 20 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MEERgroothandel Planten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53040814424407,"sku":"9627","price":13.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/4552\/4311\/files\/5d9dd213-9323-4cca-97ba-f2ce44e4837d_1200x1200_fill.jpg?v=1773782252","url":"https:\/\/emirelle.com\/products\/ficus-benjamina-kinky-green-white","provider":"EMIRELLE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
