Product Description
The Ficus Elastica Abidjan is also known as the Indian Rubber Tree. Indeed, until the 20th century, the Ficus Elastica Abidjan was an important source of rubber extraction.
Ficus Elastica Abidjan has deep dark red leaves and at the top of the plant is a red plume. Many people think this is the Ficus' flower, but this is not true. From this plume, Ficus develops its leaves.
