Product Description
The Ficus Elastica Belize owes its nickname 'the tobacco plant' to its history, when the leaves were used for cigars. When you bring this gorgeous green friend home, there's a chance the houseplant drops a few leaves at first. No need to panic: that's simply because it has to settle into its new surroundings.
Care & tips for the Ficus Elastica Belize bush - 140cm
The Ficus Elastica Belize is an easy houseplant to look after, though it is sensitive to new surroundings. If the Ficus starts growing to one side, don't move it all at once but turn it a little every day. Big changes can make the plant drop its leaves. A misting will do the leaves of the Ficus Elastica Belize the world of good.
How much water does the Ficus Elastica Belize bush - 140cm need?
The soil of this houseplant may always stay slightly moist. Give it small amounts of water several times at first; after a while you'll know roughly how much it needs. The amount differs from plant to plant. A moisture meter is well worth using, certainly when the plant has been repotted!
How much light does the Ficus Elastica Belize bush - 140cm need?
The Ficus is a real sun worshipper, so it likes a bright spot close to a window. The plant genuinely needs daylight to keep growing. If no new leaves appear, that's a sign the spot is too dark.
Is the Ficus Elastica Belize bush - 140cm toxic?
The Ficus Elastica Belize is unfortunately toxic if eaten. The sap inside the plant can irritate the skin, so be careful with it if you have children or pets.
