Baby Plants - Ficus Robusta

Ficus Robusta, also known as the Rubber Plant, is a small houseplant with large, distinctive, broad leaves in shades of deepest green. This tropical plant gets its nickname from the latex inside its stems. This variety is toxic to pets and children so make sure to keep it away from them!

Place your Rubber Plant in bright, indirect light, avoiding any draughty areas. This plant likes moist soil but avoid overwatering by waiting until the soil begins to dry out. It will also appreciate a regular misting, especially during the summer months.

Baby plants are fabulous choices for beginners and plant experts alike thanks to their miniature size. This also makes them the ideal gift plant for anyone who needs to fill a smaller space. Ficus Robusta would be perfect for adding a touch of striking foliage to your office desk or that empty shelf that needs filling!

It’s not unusual to give your plant a name… so don’t hesitate to choose one that you think suits the plant! Try naming your plant with the first name or word that you think of when you look at it - that’s how we ended up with an orchid named Clover and spider plant called Joseph. Choose the perfect name for your Rubber Plant!
