The HydroCare version of Ficus binnendijkii Amstel King has large, leathery, banana-shaped leaves and is a low-maintenance, versatile and attractive indoor greenery option. New leaf growth is flushed pick and red which adds extra interest. It is closely related to the Ficus Alii and is sometimes incorrectly referred to as Ficus longifolia.
HydroCare – Ficus Amstel King – Narrow Leafed Fig Care & Info Guide
Horty Hints
Branching out? This Ficus has long thin side branches that might need an occasional trim to maintain its sleek shape.
Although more robust than many other Ficus, leaf drop may still occur with insufficient light or incorrect watering. Adjust as necessary and your plant should quickly recover.
Sticky latex will ooze from the ends of the cut stems! This can be an irritant, so make sure to wash your hands if any comes into contact with your skin.
Light
Ficus Amstel King prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate partial shade and some early morning or late afternoon sun. Strong direct sunlight may scorch the leaves. It is less likely than other Ficus to drop its leaves when moved.
Watering
Keep an eye on the water meter. Water when the meter has been on minimum for 7 to 10 days. Check out our HydroCare set up guide for more information.
Temperature
The Ficus Amstel King does well in normal household temperatures but prefers slightly warmer conditions: between 16-24°C. Avoid cold draughts.
Humidity
No specific requirements, although the occasional misting wouldn’t go amiss, particularly during the winter when the heating is on.
Feed
Add a Hydroculture liquid feed every 2 to 3 waterings during the spring and summer months.
Height & Growth Rate
The Amstel King is a fast-growing plant in optimal conditions, typically reaching an ultimate height of 3 metres. Prune to maintain desired height.
