New growth often appears warmer in tone before settling into a deeper green, which gives the plant a natural sense of depth. The stems grow upright with layered leaf clusters, making it well suited to Scandinavian interiors where structure and simplicity matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFicus plants are known for being robust once they have settled in. Like most ficus, ‘Amstel King’ prefers a stable spot and consistent care. It will adapt to average home conditions, but it looks best when light and watering are kept even.\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 upright habit makes it practical in a living room corner, beside a sofa, on a hallway console with good natural light, or in a calm office setting where you want greenery without a wide canopy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCare tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllow the plant to acclimatise after delivery and avoid moving it frequently; ficus can respond to changes by shedding some leaves. Rotate the pot occasionally for even growth, and wipe leaves with a damp cloth to keep them dust-free and able to photosynthesise efficiently. Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser, and reduce feeding in autumn and winter. A well-draining houseplant mix and a pot with drainage holes will help prevent root issues.\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\u003eSpecies \/ variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ficus binnendijkii ‘Amstel King’\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate size at delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e ↕70 cm, Ø17 cm pot\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePot included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supplied in a practical nursery pot (decorative cover pot not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MEERgroothandel Planten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53040798138711,"sku":"15331","price":77.85,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/4552\/4311\/files\/23c7b671-589f-43d4-b0e9-4290e8731339_1200x1200_fill.jpg?v=1773782170","url":"https:\/\/emirelle.com\/products\/ficus-binnendijkii-amstel-king-green","provider":"EMIRELLE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
