ADD A BEAUTIFUL FITTED POT (OPTIONAL)
Ficus Amstel King, also known as Ficus binnendijkii 'Amstel King', is a bold, elegant indoor tree with a distinctly tropical feel. Its long, lance-shaped leaves are a fresh, vibrant green and grow densely along slender stems, forming a softly arching canopy. If you’re looking to add height and a sense of architectural greenery to your space, Ficus Amstel King is an excellent choice.
This is one of the most striking indoor Ficus trees available in the UK. It offers the same glossy foliage and air of refinement as a Fiddle Leaf Fig, but with a softer silhouette and easier care routine. Its upright habit makes it perfect for corners, entranceways, or anywhere you want to create height and lush texture.

Native Habitat and Growth Habit
Ficus Amstel King originates from Southeast Asia, where it grows as a tropical evergreen tree. Indoors, it maintains a tall, upright form with broad, sweeping foliage. It’s well-suited to indoor conditions and will thrive in bright rooms with stable warmth and humidity. Over time, it can reach impressive heights with proper care.
Care Requirements for Ficus Amstel King
Light:
Ficus Amstel King prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct morning or late afternoon sun. Avoid deep shade, as this can lead to leaf drop.
Water:
Water when the top 3–5cm of soil feel dry. Like most Ficus varieties, it prefers consistent moisture but dislikes soggy soil. Ensure the pot drains freely.
Humidity & Temperature:
Thrives in average indoor temperatures between 18–24°C. It benefits from slightly higher humidity but is generally tolerant of UK indoor conditions.
Soil:
Plant in a well-draining houseplant compost. Add perlite or bark to improve structure and drainage if needed.
Feeding:
Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer using our Organic Tropical Plant Food to promote healthy growth and vibrant foliage.

Styling Ideas
Ficus Amstel King looks fantastic in a terracotta or matte ceramic planter for a warm, natural aesthetic.

It also plays well with trailing plants and ground-cover foliage for a layered, indoor oasis.
