Hi, I am Ficus

Ik ben Ficus Elastica, ook wel bekend als de rubberplant, een populaire kamerplant die behoort tot de moerbeifamilie (Moraceae). Mijn bladeren kunnen tot wel 30 cm lang worden en zijn meestal ovaalvormig. In de juiste omstandigheden kan ik behoorlijk groot worden, tot wel 2-3 meter hoog.

I am known for my air-purifying properties; I can help remove certain pollutants from the air. However, I am toxic to pets and humans when ingesting my leaves, so make sure pets and children stay a little away from me :)

Fave spot

Where should you place me?

I am an easy green friend. I love a bright spot, but will also grow in a darker spot. Always make sure you have some natural light though!

What do I like?

A regular sip of lukewarm water is nice, but I hate too much water! I'd like to get some fertilizer twice a month during the growing season.

Adopt Rainforest

Plantanious works together with the Work with Nature foundation. Our tropical rainforests are disappearing at a rapid pace and an enormous biodiversity is being lost along with the trees. If it were up to us, the jaguar would soon walk around again in the rainforest in Costa Rica protected by 'Adopt Rainforest'! The place where many of our special plants originate. In order to make an important contribution to the goal of the foundation - to protect 2,000 hectares of rainforest in the next ten years - we donate part of our turnover to protect part of the tropical rainforest. To achieve their goal, the foundation puts money into protection, conservation, reforestation, education and research.
