Ficus elastica

Ficus elastica is definitely the most common and popular indoor plant. It is characterized by dark green leaves with an elongated - egg shape. Red shades may appear on the edge of the leaf
which in contrast with the basic green color come to the fore. It likes bright positions sheltered from direct and strong sunlight. Of the majority indoor plants, the only thing that can be said about ficus is that it grows extremely well in partial shade and shade. This species likes constant positions that are protected from air currents. It does not tolerate the retention of moisture in the zone of the root system, and it grows best in rich and well-drained soil. It is watered more often in the summer period, while watering is reduced during the winter. It is best to water when the surface part of the substrate is dry because they do not tolerate a constant excess of water. Since it has large leaves, positions next to heating elements would contribute to discarding a large amount of leaves
during drying. It is a very interesting and often cultivated species that is increasingly used in the decoration of homes, offices and business premises. Transplanting is done once a year in a larger pot. Feeding is preferred during the growing season, and you can wipe the leaves from dust with lukewarm water and a clean cloth
maintaining pure green beautiful leaves.
