Product Description
The Ficus Elastica Belize owes its nickname 'the tobacco plant' to its history: the leaves were once used for cigars. When you bring this gorgeous green friend home, there's a chance the houseplant drops a few leaves at first. Don't panic, it's simply getting used to its new surroundings.
Care & tips for the Ficus Elastica Belize tree - 130cm
The Ficus Elastica Belize tree is an easy houseplant to look after. This air-purifying houseplant is sensitive to new surroundings, though. If the Ficus Elastica Belize starts leaning to one side, don't move it all at once but turn it a little each day. Big changes can make the plant drop its leaves. A misting will do the leaves of the Ficus Elastica Belize good.
How much water does the Ficus Elastica Belize tree - 130cm need?
The soil of this green houseplant 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 water it needs. The amount varies from plant to plant. We recommend using a moisture meter, especially once the plant has been repotted!
How much light does the Ficus Elastica Belize tree - 130cm need?
The Ficus is a real sun worshipper, so it's happiest in a bright spot right by a window. The plant really needs daylight to keep growing. If no new leaves appear, that's a sign its spot is too dark.
Is the Ficus Elastica Belize tree - 130cm toxic?
The Ficus Elastica Belize is unfortunately toxic to pets and children. The sap inside the plant can irritate the skin. So take care with this plant if you have children or pets.
