Ficus Benjamina Goldenking – Ø21 cm – H95 cm
🌿 Golden variegated foliage • ☀️ Bright indirect light • 💧 Moderate watering • 🏙️ Large structural plant
The Ficus Benjamina Goldenking, also called the Golden Weeping Fig, is a majestic and bright tropical plant, known for its dense foliage with small leaves variegated in green and golden yellow. Its graceful drooping habit and golden variegation create a sophisticated silhouette that instantly brightens your urban jungle.
Native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia and Australia, this variegated variety of Ficus benjamina naturally grows into large trees where it develops its characteristic dense foliage. Its small variegated leaves elegantly catch the light, creating a soothing play of golden shadows and highlights. With its impressive height of 95 cm, it becomes the bright centerpiece of your urban jungle, perfect for dressing a living room, entrance, or spacious office with warmth and elegance.
Exposure & Location
The Ficus Benjamina Goldenking prefers bright indirect light to preserve the intensity of its golden variegation. The brighter the light, the more vibrant the yellow tones will be.
- Exposure: bright indirect light to partial shade.
- Ideal: spacious living room, bright entrance, office, or room corner near a window.
- Temperature: 18 to 25 °C, without sudden fluctuations.
- Substrate: rich, light, and well-drained (green plant potting soil + perlite).
Verdeia tip: give it enough space so its dense foliage can spread harmoniously in your urban jungle.
Watering & Care
- Watering: moderate; allow the surface of the substrate to dry slightly between waterings.
- Drainage: essential to prevent root rot — use a pot with drainage holes.
- Humidity: appreciates a slightly humid atmosphere; occasionally mist the foliage.
- Fertilizer: every 3 weeks in spring and summer, with diluted liquid fertilizer.
- Winter rest: reduce watering in autumn and winter.
Regularly clean the small variegated leaves with a damp cloth to preserve their brightness and luminous golden variegation.
Decor Ideas & Plant Combinations
With its imposing stature and bright golden variegated foliage, the Ficus Benjamina Goldenking instantly becomes the centerpiece of your urban jungle. It structures the space with elegance and brings golden light.
- To pair with: Monstera (cut foliage), Alocasia (graphic leaves), Philodendron (shiny leaves), or small plants at the base to create a layered and contrasting urban jungle.
- Ideal pot: large decorative pot in matte ceramic, terracotta, or XXL natural fiber basket.
- Urban jungle ambiance: perfect to structure a living room, dress an entrance, or create a bright jungle corner in an office.
Place it in a room corner or near a sofa to create a spectacular and bright plant focal point in your urban jungle.
Verdeia Tips
- Avoid frequent moves: the Ficus can lose leaves when stressed.
- Maintain bright light for vibrant golden variegation — in shade, it may turn green.
- Repot every 2 to 3 years in spring into a slightly larger pot.
- If some leaves fall when changing location, it’s normal — the plant is adapting.
- Rotate the pot regularly for balanced growth towards the light.

FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are selected from our European partner nurseries. Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected with breathable, secure packaging. Each package is designed to ensure your plant arrives in perfect health, without any transport-related stress.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Shipping is done within 48 business hours, with tracked delivery within 2 to 5 business days. Delivery costs €5.60 — free for orders over €50. You will receive a tracking link as soon as the package is shipped.
What to do upon receiving my plant?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What to do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
