Ficus elastica Robusta – Rubber Plant (1 plant)

Owning a Rubber Plant is all about the retro-chic of broad, shiny leaves. Ficus elastica Robusta is a modern variety that is very close to the original species in appearance, but with leaves that are wider and more glossy.

Being one of the best air-filtering plants available, and low-maintenance too, Robusta is a great plant to add lush, tropical foliage to your interior spaces.

blozem Hints🪴

Leaf got you down? Using a sterile sharp blade, put a shallow cut slightly above the leaf node (where the leaf was). Before you know it, new growth will fill in the blanks.

Insufficient light can trigger leaf drop! Find a more suitable location and your plant should quickly recover.

Ficus elastica prefers bright, indirect light but does cope quite well in lower light conditions.

Avoid direct sunlight as this may scorch the leaves.

يتم ري التربة عندما تبدأ في الجفاف قليلاً في الجزء العلوي منها. يجب الحفاظ على التربة رطبة بشكل خفيف طوال الوقت، ولكن لا تفرط في الري لأن ذلك سيؤدي إلى سقوط الأوراق.

This Ficus has no specific humidity requirements, although it will benefit from an occasional misting.

For an added boost, consider moving your plant to a steamier room such as a kitchen or bathroom.

يُطبق جرعة ضعيفة من الأسمدة مرة أو مرتين في الشهر خلال موسم النمو.

Can grow to many metres tall in its native environment. Indoors however, it is up to you: simply trim to maintain your desired height. Typical indoor heights are anything from 30cm to 2m. Moderate to fast-growing.
