The Ficus Elastica Mix, commonly known as the Rubber Plant, is a striking indoor houseplant with thick, glossy foliage and a bold tropical appearance. Plants are selected at random from a mixed tray, with foliage ranging from rich green to attractive cream or pink variegated forms.

Watering Water when the top few centimetres of compost begin to dry, then water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain away. Do not leave the plant sitting in standing water, as consistently wet roots can lead to rot. Growth slows in winter, so reduce watering frequency during cooler, darker months.
Best Growing Conditions Grow in bright, indirect light and protection from harsh direct sun, ideally at around 18-26°C, away from cold draughts and sudden temperature changes. Use a good-quality, well-drained houseplant compost and make sure excess water can drain freely from the pot. Most houseplants perform best with moderate humidity and should be kept away from strong radiator heat.
