★★★★Het mag wel wat plant vriendelijker worden bezorgd
Het mag wel wat plant vriendelijker worden bezorgd. De plant kwam een beetje beschadigd aan. Door dat de bladeren op een onjuiste manier in de doos waren gestopt. Verder is het een mooie plant.
Ik ben blij verrast! Een mooie uitziende plant en goed verpakt ontvangen. Bij de mededeling vroeg ik of zij wilde kijken naar een rechtopstaande plant en als het kan iets groter dan aangegeven maat. Daar heeft de kweker ook goed...

All about
The Ficus dossier
Ficus
Ficuses grow in the tropics of Asia, Africa and Australia, from dense rainforests to open plains. The best-known houseplants from the family are the Ficus lyrata with its large violin-shaped leaves, the fine-leaved Ficus benjamina and the sturdy Ficus elastica.
What they share: glossy foliage, tree-like growth and a look that makes any room more mature.

Placement and light
Give a Ficus a light spot without bright afternoon sun; ochtend- of avondzon is prima. Belangrijk om te weten: een Ficus is honkvast. Choose a permanent spot and move it as little as possible, because moving and drafts can cause it to drop leaves.
Keep the temperature above 15 degrees and do not place it directly above a warm radiator.
Water and feeding
Water about once a week in summer and once every ten to fourteen days in winter. Let the top centimeters of soil dry first. Be cautious: too much water is the most common mistake with a Ficus.
Provide plant food every two weeks from March to September and wipe large leaves occasionally with a damp cloth.
Is something wrong with your Ficus?
In Ficus, leaf loss is usually a response to change: a move, a draft or a darker place. Give him time, he almost always recovers. Yellow leaves indicate too much water, brown edges indicate dry air. Sticky leaves may indicate scale or mealybug.
Repot a Ficus every two to three years in the spring, in a pot that is about twenty percent wider. Use light potting soil and a sturdy pot: large specimens are top heavy. Wear gloves because of the milky juice. You can find the matching decorative pots directly on this page.
Toxic to pets?
The milky sap of the Ficus is slightly poisonous to cats and dogs and can irritate the mouth and stomach when chewed. The sap can also be sensitive on the skin. Place the plant out of reach of nibbling pets or choose an animal-friendly alternative.
With enough light, a Ficus grows steadily and can grow into a real indoor tree indoors. Pruning is allowed throughout the spring and keeps the shape compact. Our XXL specimens have already been grown as full-fledged trees.
A Ficus elastica can grow indoors into a room-sized tree several metres tall. XXLplant sells the Ficus elastica Abidjan as a standard 150 cm tall, measured including the nursery pot. Pruning keeps it compact and encourages branching.
What is the difference between Ficus elastica Abidjan and Robusta?
The Abidjan has dark burgundy to almost black leaves, the Robusta has green leaves. Both are rubber plants with large, leathery leaves and the same care. The Abidjan needs a little more light to keep its dark colour.
Where should you place a Ficus elastica Abidjan?
Put it in a bright spot out of harsh midday sun. The more light it gets, the deeper the leaf colour stays. Avoid draughts and cold floors.
How often should you water a Ficus elastica?
Water as soon as the top layer of soil feels dry, in summer about once a week on average. It needs less in winter. Do not let water collect at the bottom of the pot, or the roots will rot.
Is the Ficus elastica toxic to cats and dogs?
Yes, the milky sap of the Ficus elastica is toxic to cats and dogs and can irritate the skin. Wear gloves when pruning and keep the plant out of reach of pets.
Why is my Ficus elastica dropping leaves after delivery?
A ficus reacts to a new spot with different light and temperature, and sometimes drops a few leaves as a result. Draughts or too much water also cause leaf drop. Give it a permanent bright spot and it will usually recover by itself.
