Care & tips for the Ficus Elastica Abidjan bush - 150cm
The Ficus Elastica Abidjan is a tough houseplant that asks very little, but it does like a fixed spot. This luxurious bush shape has strikingly glossy, dark red leaves that give any home a chic look. Avoid big swings in temperature and draughts, and turn the plant gently now and then so it grows nicely evenly. If the air in your home is dry, you can mist the leaves occasionally.
How much water does the Ficus Elastica Abidjan bush - 150cm need?
The potting soil of the Ficus Elastica Abidjan may be slightly moist, but certainly not too wet. Let the top layer dry before you water again. In winter it needs less water. Too much leads to yellow leaves or root rot, so keep an eye out for that. Has the plant been repotted? Then use a moisture meter.
How much light does the Ficus Elastica Abidjan bush - 150cm 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 can drop leaves. A place by an east- or west-facing window is perfect.
Is the Ficus Elastica Abidjan bush - 150cm toxic?
The Ficus Elastica Abidjan is mildly toxic if swallowed. The white milky sap can irritate the skin on contact, so do bear children and pets in mind.
