Large Ficus Elastica Robusta Plant
The Ficus Elastica Robusta Plant is as hardy and as beautiful as they come. Requires very little water and prefers a well lit position. Displaying broad elegant leaves, these beauties are lush and tall and will make a statement in any space.
Our large plants are in 170mm gardener's pots. They are presented in a custom made hessian planter pouch with a handwritten postcard and care instructions.
- CARE GUIDE
-
All of our indoor plants are thoughtfully selected for their easy-to-care-for nature.
You’ll find specific care instructions below, but don’t worry - whether you’re treating yourself or sending a gift, we’ll include simple care instructions with your order to help your plant thrive.
CARE LEVEL
Easy, low maintenance – great for plant parents with a little experience!LIGHT
Prefers bright, indirect light to thrive. It can adapt to moderate light but will grow more slowly. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the deep burgundy leaves.WATER
Allow the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly and let excess drain away. In winter, water less frequently. Avoid letting it sit in soggy soil.HUMIDITY
Tolerant of normal household humidity but appreciates occasional misting – especially during drier months.FEEDING
Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser. No need to feed in autumn and winter when growth slows.LEAF CARE
Wipe the large, glossy leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and enhance their rich colour. This also helps the plant breathe better.PET FRIENDLY?
Not pet safe. Contains sap that can irritate mouths and stomachs if ingested – best kept out of reach of pets and small children.EXTRA TIPS
Drooping leaves? It may be overwatered or root-bound – check the roots and adjust care | Want bushier growth? Pinch off the top to encourage branching | Loves consistency – avoid cold drafts and moving it too often. - WHEN AND HOW TO RE-POT
- Your Hello Botanical plant gift can happily remain in the plastic gardener’s pot and our hessian pot cover for 3-6 months or more. Indoor plants do best if they are left in the plastic gardener's pot for at least a few months. When it is time to re-pot, it's best to re-pot up (into a slightly larger pot) to promote continued growth. You may like to add-on a Mr Kitly selfwatering pot to your plant gift (size 170mm for our small plants, size 250mm for our large plants). We provide individualised advice on how and when to re-pot, per plant, per recipient. We include an information leaflet with your gift, and are available by email or DM anytime for further advice.
