The Ficus Robusta, commonly known as the Rubber Plant, is a popular and robust indoor plant known for its striking, glossy leaves and easy-care nature. This versatile plant is perfect for adding a touch of greenery and sophistication to any indoor space.
Key Features:
-
Foliage: The Ficus Robusta features large, oval-shaped leaves with a deep green colour and a glossy finish. The thick, leathery leaves are not only attractive but also resilient, making this plant a durable choice for indoor environments.
-
Growth: This plant can grow up to 6-10 feet tall indoors, depending on the care and space provided. It has an upright, branching growth habit that makes it a stunning focal point in any room.
-
Care: The Ficus Robusta is known for being relatively low-maintenance, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced plant owners:
- Watering: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's essential to ensure the soil is well-drained.
- Humidity: This plant tolerates average household humidity but benefits from occasional misting, especially in dry indoor environments.
- Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 60-75°F. Avoid placing it in areas with drafts or sudden temperature changes.
- Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light but can also tolerate lower light conditions. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light may slow its growth.
