The slim leaves fall softly from the stems, making it a clean match for Scandinavian interiors where greenery should feel intentional rather than busy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis variety is chosen for its refined leaf shape and tidy growth habit. It sits well in living rooms, offices, and bedrooms, and it’s a good option when you want a plant that reads as “tree form” without taking up too much visual space. Like most ficus, it appreciates stability: consistent light, steady indoor temperatures, and a regular 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 an office, it works well near a window where the light stays consistent throughout the day. Avoid frequent moving—ficus plants prefer to settle in and can react to changes in light and temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCare tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse a well-draining indoor plant mix and ensure the pot has drainage holes. Rotate the plant every couple of weeks for even growth. Feed with a balanced houseplant fertiliser every 2–3 months during the growing season (spring to early autumn), and reduce feeding in winter. Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and support efficient photosynthesis. If you have pets or small children, note that ficus sap can be irritating and is best kept out of reach.\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 binnendijkii ‘Alii’\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePot size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ø21 cm (grower’s pot)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 80 cm at delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MEERgroothandel Planten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53040831332695,"sku":"10294","price":42.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/4552\/4311\/files\/ca8fd5e1-209a-4413-89b6-3b9615eab629_1200x1200_fill.jpg?v=1773782318","url":"https:\/\/emirelle.com\/products\/ficus-binnendijkii-alii-fig-green","provider":"EMIRELLE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
