Unlike many common indoor ficus plants, this is a true \u003cem\u003eedible fig\u003c\/em\u003e type, grown for its growth habit and potential fruiting when given enough light and warmth. In a Scandinavian home it reads clean and understated: green leaves, simple structure, and a controlled silhouette that works well with wood, stone, linen, and neutral ceramics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePlant care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very bright light.

The more light it receives, the sturdier the growth and the more compact the foliage. In warmer months it also suits a sheltered balcony or terrace; bring it back indoors before temperatures drop. Choose a stable spot—figs prefer consistency and may drop some leaves if moved frequently.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCare tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse a well-draining potting mix and consider repotting when roots fill the nursery pot. During the growing season, a balanced plant fertiliser every 2–4 weeks supports healthy leaf growth; reduce feeding in autumn and winter. Rotate the pot occasionally for even growth, and wipe dust from the leaves with a soft, damp cloth so the plant can photosynthesise efficiently. If you want a tidier shape, prune lightly in late winter or early spring before strong new growth begins.\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 plant (fig tree)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ficus Gustissimo® Perretta® (Ficus carica)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 50 cm tall, nursery pot Ø19 cm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePot included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supplied in a grower’s nursery 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":53040828481879,"sku":"6631","price":24.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/4552\/4311\/files\/7acbe801-4422-4cd7-af87-650a87f329d3_1200x1200_fill.jpg?v=1773817237","url":"https:\/\/emirelle.com\/products\/ficus-carica-perretta-fig-tree-green","provider":"EMIRELLE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
