Ficus Elastica are native to rainforests in the Amazon region of South America but now grow outside in tropical places such as Florida. These plants grow quickly when given lots of sunlight and will be slow growers in less light. In the wild, they grow to be as big as trees, and given the right conditions you can do the same to yours! They produce leaves from four to fourteen inches in length.

Light: Bright light.

Water: Water when mostly dry, once every one to two weeks.

Soil: Well draining, nutrient dense.

Notes: Shake your Ficus gently by the stem to help it grow. In the wild they rely on the wind to help them grow strong stems.

What to expect

You will receive a plant similar in size to the one you choose. I will not send you a smaller plant than the one you select. There will be variation in how each plant looks but I guarantee you will receive a quality plant with a well developed root system.

Heating Pack

I recommend a heating pack when your shipment may encounter temperatures below 40 degrees. Please add one heating pack to your order if you feel this may occur.

Bare Root Packing Available

Your plant will be sent in a nursery pot unless otherwise specified. My favorite way of sending plants is with the root systems wrapped in moss and plastic without a nursery pot. This option is for people who know which potting medium they would like to put it in when it arrives. Please specify during checkout if you would like your plant shipped bare root.
