Care & tips Ficus Elastica Robusta on stem - 170cm
Ficus is not a troublesome plant. However, this houseplant 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. We also recommend spraying the leaves regularly.
Water requirements for Ficus Elastica Robusta - 170cm
The soil should always be slightly moist. In summer, the plant will need more water than in winter. Check this every time, preferably using a moisture meter!
Light requirements of Ficus Elastica Robusta - 170cm
Ficus Robusta loves daylight, so it prefers a bright spot close to a window. If the Robusta stands in a place that is too dark, it will not grow new leaves. Be careful during the summer months, when direct sunlight can be too intense. For this period, move the plant to a spot with fewer hours of sunlight per day.
Is Ficus Elastica Robusta - 170cm poisonous?
The leaf of the Robusta is poisonous. The sap contained in the plant can cause skin irritation. So be careful with this plant if you have children or pets.
