- The Ficus Robusta, commonly known as the Rubber Plant or the Rubber Fig is a luscious evergreen foliage live Indoor with glossy dark green elliptical leaves. When mature this trendy houseplant will grow anywhere from 30cm to 2.5 metres.
- This rainforest native rubber plant will add a tropical touch to any interior décor. It is perfect for displaying in the corner of a living room or kitchen but is also suited in an office environment. It also provides air purifying properties through its leaves, due its dense compact growing habit.
- Rubber Plants are one of the easiest houseplants to grow making it perfect for beginners and the Ficus Melany is no different. It is happiest in places with a temperature above 15°C and away from draughts.
- With most rainforest plants, the Ficus Robusta likes to grow in bright indirect sunlight in slightly moist soil conditions. It can cope well enough in slightly lower light but does not like complete shade. When watering, allow the top inch of soil to dry out then water thoroughly and drain through. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot and leaf drop.

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, 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.
