Proven Winners Direct Cling-On Ficus 'Amstel King' (Maclellandii)
This is an elegant, easy to grow ficus that can take the form of a small weeping tree or a multi-stemmed, bushy plant. Slender, arching branches carry the shiny, dark and light green variegated leaves. In order for its variegation to stay prominent, the plant needs bright light. Placing it right in front of an east-facing or west-facing window is ideal. A southern exposure is also great. The Amstel King has also been developed to minimize leaf dropping when moved to a new location.
21 - 28 inches tall at maturity
Medium to bright in indirect light
Great for bright, humid spaces like bathrooms
Care Information
For optimal performance, keep at 60-85°F (15-29°C).
Protect furniture when watering.
Feed once per month at half strength when plant is actively growing.
This plant loves warm temperatures above 60 degrees, so be sure not to place it near a door or vent that will let in cold air. Average room temperature is just right.
Allow the top inch or so of the soil to dry out before watering again.
Add some perlite and/or orchid bark to an all-purpose potting mix for a great growing medium.
Younger plants will grow fairly quickly and may need to be repotted every 1-2 years.
