Delivered at approximately \u003cstrong\u003e60 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e tall in a \u003cstrong\u003eØ17 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e nursery pot, it brings structured greenery to calm interiors without taking up much floor space. The plant has a slim, woody stem and naturally forms a light, layered canopy that works well in Scandinavian homes where you want greenery with a clean outline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe variegated foliage is what sets this ficus apart from standard green weeping figs. The pale margins catch daylight and soften corners, while the deeper green centre keeps the overall look grounded. Like most ficus, it prefers stability: consistent light, even watering, and a spot away from cold drafts help it settle quickly after delivery.\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. Tolerates medium light, but growth slows and variegation can become less distinct.

It suits a living room corner, beside a bookshelf, or on a low plant stand where the foliage can sit at eye level. In open-plan spaces, it works well as a soft divider without feeling heavy. Avoid spots close to exterior doors or frequently opened windows, as drafts are a common reason ficus drop leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCare tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllow the plant time to adjust after moving; a small amount of leaf drop is normal when conditions change. Rotate the pot every few weeks for even growth. Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to keep them dust-free and to help the plant photosynthesise efficiently. Prune lightly in spring to maintain a neat shape and encourage branching. If you have pets or small children, note that ficus sap can be irritating if ingested or if it comes into contact with skin.\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 \u003cem\u003eFicus benjamina\u003c\/em\u003e ‘Golden King’\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApprox. size at delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e ↕60 cm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePot included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, supplied in a Ø17 cm plastic nursery pot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MEERgroothandel Planten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53040817865047,"sku":"28974","price":17.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/4552\/4311\/files\/fbe31e1c-402d-4dd1-9525-cd5aa695a471_1200x1200_fill.jpg?v=1773782252","url":"https:\/\/emirelle.com\/products\/ficus-goldenking-variegated-green","provider":"EMIRELLE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
