✨ Why You'll Love the Ficus elastica 'Abidjan'

• Rich, glossy leaves with a deep burgundy sheen for a dramatic look
• Low-maintenance, perfect for beginners and busy plant lovers
• Air-purifying qualities help create a healthier indoor climate
• Compact size (H35 cm, pot Ø12 cm) makes it ideal for shelves, desks, or side tables

🌞 Light & Placement

Prefers bright, indirect light but tolerates partial shade—ideal for north- or east-facing windows in European apartments. Avoid direct midday sun, which may scorch the leaves.

💧 Water & Humidity

Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Ficus elastica enjoys moderate humidity, but adapts well to typical German indoor conditions. Mist occasionally to keep leaves fresh and dust-free.

🪴 Soil & Potting

Use a well-draining potting mix with peat-free houseplant soil and added perlite or bark. Repot every 1–2 years as the roots grow, ideally in spring.

🐾 Toxicity & Safety

⚠️ Not safe for pets—keep away from cats, dogs, and curious little ones.

🌱 Growth & Propagation

Can grow up to 1–2 m indoors over time. Easily propagated from stem cuttings in water or soil—patience and warmth are key.

📆 Seasonal & Special Care

Thrives year-round in stable indoor climates. During winter, reduce watering and keep away from cold drafts or heaters.

🐛 Common Issues

• Yellowing leaves → overwatering
• Brown edges → low humidity or underwatering
• Sticky leaves → check for pests like scale or mealybugs

🧬 Botanical Background

The Ficus elastica, also known as the Rubber Plant, originates from tropical Southeast Asia. The 'Abidjan' cultivar is prized for its darker, more dramatic foliage compared to the classic green variety.
