The Ficus Amstel King is defined by its braided trunk, which gives the plant a distinctive, structured silhouette. The leaves are large, oval, glossy and dark green, creating a strong visual contrast with the trunk. The plant develops a full, dense canopy that makes a clear statement in any interior without relying on flowers, which rarely appear.
This ficus suits offices, reception areas, meeting rooms and other professional spaces where a substantial plant is needed but daily maintenance is not an option. The bright, indirect light found in many commercial buildings matches the plant’s requirements well. Placement in a bright outdoor spot is also possible during summer months.
Watering needs are moderate: water when the top layer of soil feels dry, roughly every two weeks. Avoid prolonged periods in wet soil to prevent root rot. One size variant is available on this page. Each plant is shipped in a purpose-built box with a protective sleeve securing both the plant and the soil, so it arrives in good condition.
Can this plant be used both indoors and outdoors? Indoors is the standard placement, in a spot with bright, indirect light. Outdoor use is possible during summer in a suitably bright location. Avoid direct harsh sunlight and exposed, windy spots.
How much maintenance does this ficus require in an office setting? Maintenance is minimal. Water when the top layer of soil feels dry, approximately every two weeks. Check periodically that the plant is not sitting in overly wet soil, as this can lead to root rot.
How does the plant look up close – does it hold up at short range? This is a living plant with large, glossy, dark green leaves and a distinctive braided trunk. The full, dense growth habit means it looks convincing and natural even at close quarters.
Can I order multiple units for a single project? Yes, orders can be placed per unit or in larger quantities for a project. An entire series for one space or location can be placed as a single order and dispatched together.
How is the plant packaged and what is the lead time? Delivery takes five working days. The plant is packed in a sturdy box designed specifically for indoor plants, with a protective sleeve keeping the plant and soil secure during transit.
