Botanical name: Ficus elastica belize
Common name: Rubber plant
Why we love this plant
We just love the Belize variety of the classic Ficus elastica (commonly known as a Rubber plant). A twist on the original favourite, the Belize has distinct variegated leaves with beautiful pinkish hues. And what's more, it's low maintenance!
Plant care: Ficus
Light
Your Ficus can tolerate most light levels, think low, medium or bright (but avoid direct sun).
Water
Water when the top layer of soil feels dry.
Humidity
Like many houseplants, Ficus enjoy moist air. Mist your plant to keep it happy.
Seasonal
During warmer months, houseplants are actively growing and will appreciate regular plant food. During colder months, a plants growth rate slows down and so they often need less water.
