This plant is supplied in a \u003cstrong\u003eØ12 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e nursery pot and stands at approximately \u003cstrong\u003e28 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e tall at delivery, making it a practical choice for smaller spaces where you still want a true, woody houseplant. The foliage is fresh green with subtle, lighter margins, and the plant naturally forms an elegant mini-tree silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘Kinky’ is a cultivar of \u003cem\u003eFicus benjamina\u003c\/em\u003e known for its tighter growth and smaller leaves than the classic weeping fig. It offers a calm, structured look on a shelf, sideboard or desk, while still bringing the softness of real greenery. Like most ficus, it prefers a stable spot and rewards consistent care with steady growth and a fuller crown.\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.

Because this variety stays compact for longer, it suits \u003cstrong\u003etables, shelves and windowside sideboards\u003c\/strong\u003e where larger ficus trees feel too dominant. Once positioned, try to keep it in the same spot—ficus plants can react to frequent moves with temporary leaf drop.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCare tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRotate the pot a quarter turn every couple of weeks for even growth. Wipe the leaves gently with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and help the plant photosynthesise efficiently. If leaves drop after arrival or a change in placement, keep care consistent; new growth usually follows once the plant settles. During spring and summer, a balanced houseplant feed every 4–6 weeks supports healthy, compact foliage.\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\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ficus Benjamina ‘Kinky’\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. 28 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MEERgroothandel Planten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53040811868503,"sku":"18125","price":47.85,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/4552\/4311\/files\/f73d5b45-7e48-470a-9337-0679abafb78a_1200x1200_fill.jpg?v=1773782230","url":"https:\/\/emirelle.com\/products\/ficus-benjamina-kinky-weeping-fig-green","provider":"EMIRELLE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
