About this plant
Ficus Amstel Queen (Ficus binnendijkii 'Amstel Queen') is a long-leaved fig from Southeast Asia. Its narrow, glossy, deep green leaves hang from upright branches, giving a soft, willow-like canopy. This product is a large specimen tree, chosen for spaces that need height and presence.
In Dubai it performs well indoors. Like other long-leaved figs, it copes with air conditioning and tends to shed less than weeping figs, though it may drop some leaves while it settles after delivery. It needs bright, indirect light, so place it near large windows or glass walls with filtered sun. Keep it away from direct vent airflow, and let the top layer of soil dry before watering a pot of this size.
It works in double-height living rooms, villa entrances, hotel and office lobbies and atriums. We offer it in a single large specimen size, delivered ready to place.

Care Guide for Dubai Homes
How to keep Ficus Amstel Queen healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Bright, indirect light; filtered sun near large windows. Keep it out of harsh direct afternoon sun in summer.
Watering
Every 10–14 days indoors for a large pot, when the top 5 cm of soil is dry; less in winter. Water when the top 2 to 3 cm of soil feels dry, empty the saucer afterwards, and check the soil before you water: AC slows how fast the plant uses water.
Care notes
Soil: well-draining indoor potting mix with bark or perlite. Feeding: balanced liquid feed every 4–6 weeks from March to October. Common mistake: putting a tall specimen in a dim lobby corner, where it thins and drops leaves. Where it works: double-height living rooms, villa entrances, hotel lobbies and atriums.
AC and air flow
Keep it at least 1 metre from AC vents. Cold air blowing straight onto the leaves dries the edges.
Cleaning the leaves
Dust settles quickly in Dubai homes. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks so they keep taking in light.
Feeding and repotting
Feed once a month from March to October. Repot every 2 years into a pot one size up, or book a Plant Doctor visit and we do it for you.
Pets
Listed by the ASPCA as toxic to cats and dogs (ficin and ficusin in the milky sap; can cause stomach upset and skin irritation).
