Ficus ELASTICA

(RUBBER PLANT)

-

Adored for its ease of cultivatio­n, large glossy leaves and size (around 3m indoors). It requires bright indirect light to low light. Normal indoor humidity is fine, but you might want to mist leaves in summer. Clean leaves with tepid water and a damp cloth to remove dust. Avoid draughts or any sudden drops in temperatur­e.
