Description

Ficus elastica 'Abidjan' is a striking rubber plant whose broad, glossy leaves boast rich bronze and burgundy tones. Both the leaf midribs and the furled buds are a bright lipstick red. A retro classic, this jungle native will make a real statement piece for any room, with the stunning burnished leaves making a stylish feature. But it's not all about looks – rubber plants are one of the best air-purifying houseplants, filtering out common toxins to keep your home or office fresh. Ficus elastica 'Abidjan' will thrive in a bright spot out of direct sun. Eventual height: 3m (10ft). Eventual spread: 1.5m (5ft).

How to Grow
Position Ficus elastica in a warm room away from cold draughts and radiators, with a constant temperature of between 16C (60F) and 24C (75F). Avoid positions which receive sudden drops in temperature as this may cause the plant to drops its leaves. Rubber Plants thrive in a brightly lit spot, avoiding the direct glare of the sun - however they can cope remarkably well in a more shaded position.
More Info
Water regularly between spring and autumn, allowing the pot to drain well after each watering. In winter, reduce watering but do not allow the compost to dry out completely. House plants should be fed regularly between March and September when they are in active growth. Any necessary pruning should be undertaken between in autumn or winter. Avoid moving Rubber Plants too often to prevent leaf drop.
Caution

Caution: irritant to skin and eyes
