★★★★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 Robusta can grow to two or three metres tall indoors if you do not prune it. In a bright spot it keeps growing steadily with ever new, large leaves. XXLplant sells this rubber plant at 120 to 200 cm tall, measured including the nursery pot.
Which Ficus elastica Robusta form should you choose: standard, branched or bush?
A standard Ficus elastica Robusta has a bare trunk with a crown on top and suits a spot where you want to keep space free below the crown. The branched form has several branches and looks fuller and wider. The bush form is covered in leaves from top to bottom and works well as a green screen.
Where should you put a Ficus elastica Robusta?
A Ficus elastica Robusta likes a bright spot with indirect light; some morning sun is fine. In a spot that is too dark, growth becomes weak and leggy. Keep it out of draughts and above 12 °C.
How often should you water a Ficus elastica Robusta?
Give a Ficus elastica Robusta moderate water, only once the top layer of soil is dry. Avoid wet feet, as they quickly cause yellow leaves. Water less in winter.
Is a Ficus elastica Robusta toxic to cats and dogs?
Yes, the milky sap of the Ficus elastica Robusta is toxic to cats and dogs and can irritate the skin. The sap is released when a leaf or branch breaks. Keep it out of reach of pets and wear gloves when pruning.
Why is my Ficus elastica Robusta dropping leaves after delivery?
A ficus reacts to a new spot with different light and temperature, so it may drop a few leaves after a move. Keep it in a bright spot out of draughts and don't keep moving it. In the right spot it usually recovers by itself.
How is a Ficus elastica Robusta delivered?
XXLplant ships the rubber plant upright in its own plant box, with the crown in a paper sleeve and the pot secured. The largest plants go with a specialist carrier, otherwise with PostNL or DHL. In frosty or hot weather we add a heat pack or cold pack.
