Ficus 'Amstel King'

Ficus 'Amstel King' is a popular indoor plant known for its elegant, elongated leaves and relatively easy care requirements. It is a variety of the narrow-leaf fig, distinguished by its more upright growth habit and larger leaves. Ficus 'Amstel King' has long, narrow, lance-shaped leaves that are dark green, glossy, and leathery. The leaves are typically 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) long, giving the plant a lush and tropical appearance. This variety of Ficus tends to have a more upright and slightly arching growth habit compared to other Ficus species.

• Light: Ficus 'Amstel King' thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially in the morning or late afternoon, but avoid intense, midday sun which can scorch the leaves. It can also adapt to lower light conditions, although growth may be slower.

• Watering: Water the plant thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Ensure that the pot has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in the winter when the plant’s growth slows down.

• Fertilization: Feed the plant with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding during the fall and winter when the plant’s growth slows.

• Pruning: Prune as needed to maintain the desired shape and size. Regular pruning helps promote bushier growth and removes any dead or yellowing leaves. Use clean, sharp pruning shears to avoid damaging the plant.
