Ficus Amstel King

Ficus Amstel King is a popular ornamental indoor plant known for its stunning foliage, stately presence, and air-purifying properties. This plant is a type of Ficus with large, glossy, deep green leaves that are longer than the smaller-leafed benjamina, another popular houseplant. It can grow up to 10 feet tall indoors, making it a great choice for a large statement plant in a living room or any space that needs a bold and elegant touch.

One of the reasons why Ficus Amstel King is a popular choice for indoor decoration is its ability to adapt to different light conditions. It can thrive in low to medium light, although it prefers bright, indirect light. It is also relatively easy to care for, making it a great choice for those who are new to indoor gardening.

To care for a Ficus Amstel King, it’s essential to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Overwatering can cause root rot, which is a common problem with this plant. It’s best to water the plant when the top inch of the soil is dry to the touch. Fertilize the plant once a month during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.

Practice regular pruning to maintain its shape and size. Prune any dead or yellowing leaves, and trim back any overly long stems. The plant benefits from occasional cleaning of its leaves, as it helps to remove dust and dirt that can block the plant’s ability to photosynthesize.
