Ficus Elistica

Popular indoor plant with thick, glossy leaves (green, burgundy, or variegated); easy to grow and visually striking.

Light:

Prefers bright, indirect light; tolerates some direct morning sun. Low light slows growth and reduces color vibrancy.

Watering:

Water when the top 5 cm of soil is dry. Avoid overwatering—root rot is a common issue.

Soil:

Well-draining potting mix; add perlite or sand for improved drainage.

Temperature:

Thrives in 18–26°C; protect from cold drafts.

Fertilizing: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer. No feeding needed in winter.
