Product Description
Ficus Robusta is also known as the Indian Rubber Tree. Indeed, until the 20th century, Ficus Robusta was an important source for the extraction of rubber. The Elastica Robusta is related to the Ficus and counts more than 1,000 different species that you cannot immediately tell belong to the same family. Most Ficus species originate from tropical Asia.
Care & tips Ficus Robusta shrub - 190cm
The Ficus Robusta shrub is not a difficult houseplant to look after. However, it is sensitive to new environments. Should Ficus grow to one side, do not move the plant all at once but turn it a little every day. This is because in case of major changes, the plant may drop its leaves. A weekly spraying will benefit Ficus' leaves. Dust and possible pests will not get a chance this way.
Water requirements Ficus Robusta shrub - 190cm
Always try to keep Ficus' soil slightly moist. In the beginning, give the plant small amounts of water several times, after a while you will know approximately how much water the plant needs. The amount of water also depends on the location. If the houseplant is in a bright spot, it will need more water. Has your plant been repotted? If so, always use a water meter or moisture meter!
Light requirement of Ficus Robusta shrub - 190cm
Ficus Robusta loves daylight and prefers a bright spot close to a window. This houseplant really needs daylight to develop. If the Robusta stands in a place that is too dark, it will not grow new leaves. Be careful during the summer months, as the direct sunlight can become too intense. For this period, move the plant to a spot with less direct sunlight per day.
Is Ficus Robusta shrub - 190cm poisonous?
The leaves of Ficus Robusta are toxic to pets and children. Ingestion of the plant is strongly discouraged. The sap contained in the plant can cause skin irritation. So be careful with this plant in combination with small children and pets.
