🌱 Ficus Elastica ‘Abidjan’ is full of retro character with her broad dark green and burgundy leaves ✨This dramatic South Asian statement plant will grow into tall trees (more on that later) ✨🌴
Considered one of the very best plants to clean the air, is resistant to pests, and increases the humidity of your room. Good for your health, stylish, AND low maintenance? Yes please! How to care for this adorable cutie down below 👇
☀️ - Prefers bright, indirect light, and ideally a few hours of morning/late afternoon sunshine (Avoid harsh midday direct sun though!)
💧 - Water when the soil is almost completely dry, then saturate. Good draining soil is essential!
🌡️ - Thrives in temperatures between 18-29°C. Protect from cold drafts!
🪴 - Repot when roots pop out from drainage holes, or when top heavy. Equal parts bark, perlite, and soil for air and drainage.
🐾 - Not pet friendly.
❌ ✂️ Unpruned: Upwards of 3M, narrow slender tree looking effect
✂️ Pruned: Bushy, wider look with a maximum 1M spread
