Product Description
The Ficus Elastica Robusta is also known as the Indian rubber tree. The houseplant earned this nickname because until the 20th century the Ficus Elastica Robusta was an important source of rubber.
Care & tips for the Ficus Elastica Robusta tree - 120cm
The Ficus Robusta isn't a tricky plant. This houseplant is sensitive to new surroundings, though. If the Ficus starts leaning to one side, don't move it all at once but turn it a little each day. We also recommend misting the leaves regularly.
How much water does the Ficus Elastica Robusta - 120cm need?
The soil can stay slightly moist at all times. To begin with, give the plant small amounts of water several times; after a while you'll know roughly how much it needs. Watch out for overwatering.
How much light does the Ficus Elastica Robusta - 120cm need?
The Ficus Robusta tree loves daylight, so it's happiest in a bright spot right by a window. If the Robusta stands somewhere too dark, no new leaves will grow. Do take care in the summer months, when direct sunlight can get too intense. For that period, move the plant to a spot with fewer hours of sun a day.
Is the Ficus Elastica Robusta - 120cm toxic?
The leaves of the Robusta are toxic to pets and children. Eating any part of the plant is strongly discouraged. The sap inside the plant can irritate the skin. So take care with this plant if you have children or pets.
