    Features

    All hail ‘Amstel King’, an elegant, easy-to-grow fig that is sure to reign supreme in your home. This multi-stemmed ficus has arching branches that take on the form of a small weeping tree. Slender branches are adorned with elongated, “banana” shaped leaves of shiny, dark green. ‘Amstel King’ is a selection that has been developed to have minimal leaf-drop when moved to a new location. It will hold the crown most nobly, however, if given a southern or western exposure with plenty of bright light.

    Maintenance Notes: 
    • For optimal performance, keep your Cling-On Fig at 60-85°F (15-29°C). 
    • Be sure to position your Cling-On Fig away from cold drafts and forced air. 
    • Cling-On Figs thrive in bright indirect light. 
    • Cling-On Figs prefer to dry out some in between waterings. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before giving your Fig a good soaking. 
    • Feed your Cling-On once per month at half strength when it is actively growing. Reduce frequency of fertilization in the winter months. If no new leaves are growing, it does not need to be fertilized.
    • Protect furniture when watering & fertilizing.
    • If your Cling-On Fig is a young plant, it will grow fairly quickly and may need to be repotted every 1-2 years.  When repotting your Fig, use all purpose potting mix with added orchid bark and perlite to ensure good drainage and plenty of nutrients.
