The Rubber Plant (Ficus elastica), also known as the Rubber Tree, is a popular indoor plant that belongs to the fig family (Moraceae). It is valued for its attractive, broad, glossy leaves and its ability to adapt to a variety of indoor conditions. Here’s a description and care guide for the Rubber Plant:
Ficus elastica “Abidjan” or Rubber Plant is variety of rubber plant has dark green leaves with a hint of Burgundy. It absorbs toxins and a great plant for improving the environment in both homes and offices. Ficus elastica ‘Abidjan’ is easy to look after and avoid direct sunlight.
Suitable for low-light situations but can also tolerate natural indirect light. It produces a white, sticky, milky sap when cut. Hence the name ‘rubber plant’. This is slightly toxic.
Temperature: Average room temperatures of 60 – 75°F (15 – 24°C are fine. Avoid lower than 55°F (12°C), sudden temperature drops and cold drafts.
Light: A nice brightly lit spot is ideal, without direct sunlight.
Watering: Water once the soil becomes slightly dry to the touch and make sure the pot has sufficient drainage holes to allow excess water to seep through. The worst thing you can do regarding watering is “give it too much”.
