The Ficus Amstel King has a braided trunk that immediately draws the eye, combined with large, oval leaves in glossy dark green. The plant grows in a full, dense habit, making it effective as a standalone feature in a room. Flowers are rare; the foliage is the defining characteristic.
This ficus works well in offices, reception areas, hotel lobbies and retail environments where a substantial green presence is required. It needs bright, indirect light, which makes it suitable for most indoor locations with adequate daylight. During the summer it can also be placed in a bright, sheltered outdoor spot.
Watering needs are moderate: water when the top layer of compost feels dry, typically every two weeks. Avoid leaving the plant standing in waterlogged soil for extended periods. One size is available on this page. The plant is dispatched in a sturdy box designed specifically for indoor plants, with a protective cover around the plant and compost.
Can this ficus be placed outdoors? Yes, a bright outdoor location is an option in summer. Indoors the plant can be used year-round wherever there is bright, indirect light, such as an office or entrance area with adequate daylight.
How much maintenance does this plant require? Maintenance needs are low. Water approximately every two weeks when the top layer of compost feels dry. Avoid prolonged waterlogging to prevent root rot; beyond that, the plant asks little of its caretaker.
