Care & tips for the Ficus Elastica Abidjan tree - 140cm

The Ficus Elastica Abidjan is a strong houseplant that asks little of you, though it does like a settled spot. This luxurious plant has strikingly glossy, dark red leaves that lend a chic note to any home. Avoid big swings in temperature and draughts, and turn the plant gently now and then so it grows evenly. If the air indoors is dry, mist the leaves with a little water from time to time.

How much water does the Ficus Elastica Abidjan tree - 140cm need?

The potting soil of the Ficus Abidjan can be slightly moist, but certainly not too wet. Let the top layer of soil dry before you water again. Less water is needed in winter. Too much water leads to yellow leaves or root rot, so keep an eye out for that. Has the plant been repotted? Then reach for a moisture meter.

How much light does the Ficus Elastica Abidjan tree - 140cm need?

This Ficus is happiest in a bright spot with plenty of indirect sunlight. Direct sun, especially in the afternoon, can damage the leaves. Somewhere too dark and the plant stops growing and may drop leaves. A place by an east or west facing window is perfect.

Is the Ficus Elastica Abidjan tree - 140cm toxic?

The Ficus is mildly toxic if swallowed, and the white milky sap can irritate the skin on contact. Bear that in mind around children and pets.
