Compared with broader-leaved ficus varieties, the silhouette looks lighter and more architectural—well suited to Scandinavian interiors where you want greenery with a quiet, linear form. Like many ficus plants, it appreciates a stable spot and responds best to consistent care rather than frequent moves.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePlant care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright, indirect light is ideal.

It also works well in a home office, where the upright structure stays tidy and easy to maintain. If positioned in lower light, keep it closer to the room’s brightest area to maintain density.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCare tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe the leaves with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust—this helps the plant photosynthesise efficiently and keeps the foliage looking clear. Rotate the pot occasionally for even growth, and avoid moving it often, as ficus can drop leaves when conditions change. In the growing season (spring–summer), a light dose of hydroponic fertiliser can support steady new foliage. Note: like other ficus plants, the sap can be irritating and the plant is considered toxic if ingested—place out of reach of pets and small children.\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\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Live indoor plant (hydro culture)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies \/ variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ficus binnendijkii ‘Alii’\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ø18 cm pot, ↕ approx. 110 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePot included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supplied in a grow pot suitable for hydro; 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":53040811934039,"sku":"30786","price":248.85,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/4552\/4311\/files\/85474c45-2405-4226-b976-86c17fa8a369_1200x1200_fill.jpg?v=1773782230","url":"https:\/\/emirelle.com\/products\/ficus-binnendijkii-alii-green-hydro","provider":"EMIRELLE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
