This live houseplant is delivered at approximately \u003cstrong\u003e100 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e tall in a \u003cstrong\u003eØ21 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e nursery pot, making it an easy way to add height and calm greenery to a room without taking up much floor space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ‘Alii’ differs from the more common rubber plant ficus with a lighter, airier silhouette. Its slender, deep green leaves create a fine texture that suits Scandinavian interiors—clean lines, muted tones, and natural materials—while still offering a distinctly tropical, full look. As the plant matures, it develops a denser crown and a more defined, tree-like form.\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.

Its vertical shape works especially well beside a sofa, in a living room corner, next to a sideboard, or in a hallway with natural light. In offices, it adds greenery without demanding frequent attention.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCare tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFicus plants prefer consistency. Try to avoid moving it often, as changes in light and temperature can cause leaf drop. Rotate the pot every few weeks for even growth. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to keep them glossy and to help the plant photosynthesise efficiently. Feed with a balanced houseplant fertiliser monthly during spring and summer, and reduce feeding in the darker months.\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\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 100 cm tall, nursery pot Ø21 cm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePot included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Delivered in a practical grower’s pot (decorative outer pot not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MEERgroothandel Planten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53040827498839,"sku":"29022","price":104.85,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/4552\/4311\/files\/de853a17-c98c-432d-b041-bd4b8600b117_1200x1200_fill.jpg?v=1773782312","url":"https:\/\/emirelle.com\/products\/ficus-binnendijkii-alii-green-glossy","provider":"EMIRELLE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
