Ficus Elastica Abidjan

The Ficus Elastica Abidjan has wonderfully burnished looking large leaves, and we really love its unusual looks! This Rubber plant is really stunning with its bronzed leaves with tones of burgundy, a very interesting houseplant that looks super in any room, but particularly in a space where the Ficus Elastica Abidjan can be a stylish feature. 

Ficus Abidjan is from a large family of Ficus plants, all of them from tropical rainforests originally.  Like the others, it loves bright but indirect light and humidity - just like the conditions in its natural habitat.

Really a wow, this indoor plant is such a good looker and any visitor to your house will be stunned by the unusual, glossy leaves. 

If you’re looking to buy indoor plants online (UK) then we can promise that we provide the best houseplants! 

It makes a wonderful gift - and we can make it even more special by including a free, handwritten card with your gift delivery. Just note your gift message at the basket stage of checkout.

No giveaway paperwork included either!

Ficus Elastica Abidjan care level

This plant is suitable for beginners.

Where should I put it?

You need a bright spot, as with the other Ficus plants, but out of the direct sun.  The leaves are sensitive to the sun and may curl up or burn in full sun.

How should I water it?

Rainforest plants need to be watered when the top couple of inches of soil dries out, then soaked through and allowed to drain fully.

Should I feed it?

You can feed once a month during the spring and summer months - try our vegan, organic plant food! 

Is it suitable if I have pets?

Unfortunately, this plant can be toxic to pets if eaten.

What size is it?

W30cm x 130cm.
