Ficus Amstel King

This ficus thrives in bright, indirect light but adapts well to medium-light conditions, making it highly versatile indoors. While it can tolerate some direct morning sun, avoid intense afternoon sun, which can scorch its leaves. Consistent light helps maintain dense foliage and steady growth.

Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry, typically every 7–10 days depending on your environment. Ensure the pot has good drainage and never allow the plant to sit in standing water, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering slightly during the winter months when growth naturally slows.

Temperature & Humidity: Prefers warm, stable indoor temperatures (65–85°F / 18–29°C) and moderate humidity. Protect from drafts and sudden temperature changes, which can stress the plant. Potting Medium: A well-draining, nutrient-rich potting mix keeps roots healthy and supports steady growth. Fertilizing: Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Pause fertilization in the cooler months. Pruning & Maintenance: Trim as needed to shape and encourage fuller growth. Remove any yellowing or older leaves to keep the plant looking vibrant. Growth Habit: A fast-growing ficus that can reach impressive indoor heights when given space, making it an excellent choice for a statement floor plant.
