The foliage is deep green with warm, reddish tones in new growth—an understated colour contrast that works well in Scandinavian interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘Melany’ is valued for its sturdy, leathery leaves that hold their shape and stay present year-round. The tree-form trunk creates a clean silhouette, making it easy to place where you want greenery without taking up too much floor space. Like other rubber plants, it is also known as an air-purifying houseplant, supporting a fresher indoor feel in everyday living.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mayk Gold pot adds a soft metallic finish that pairs naturally with oak, light textiles, stone surfaces, and matte ceramics.

In a home office it provides greenery without demanding attention, and in a bedroom it stays visually calm thanks to its structured, uncluttered shape. If you only have medium light, position it closer to the window and rotate the plant occasionally to keep the crown even.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCare tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe the leaves with a soft, damp cloth to keep them dust-free and able to photosynthesise efficiently. Turn the plant a little every few weeks for balanced growth. Feed with a standard houseplant fertiliser about once a month during spring and summer; reduce to every 6–8 weeks in winter. If you notice leaf drop, check for cold drafts, overwatering, or sudden changes in light.\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 (rubber plant), tree form\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies\/variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ficus elastica ‘Melany’\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 90 cm tall, Ø21 cm pot size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePot included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, Mayk Gold pot included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MEERgroothandel Planten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53040823468375,"sku":"7088","price":116.85,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/4552\/4311\/files\/692d2aff-2acf-4db9-a6c0-de03bafed6cc_1200x1200_fill.jpg?v=1773782282","url":"https:\/\/emirelle.com\/products\/ficus-elastica-melany-stam-90cm-o21cm-pot-mayk-gold","provider":"EMIRELLE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
