{"product_id":"ficus-elastica-abidjan","title":"Ficus elastica 'Abidjan'","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDeep burgundy foliage: Ficus elastica 'Abidjan' specimen\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis selected cultivar is defined by thick, leathery leaves with a high, lacquer‑like gloss. Mature blades take on a deep burgundy to near‑black tone, while new leaves open red‑purple from striking red\/carmine sheaths; undersides show a bronze cast and a conspicuous dark red midrib for strong contrast. The overall silhouette is upright and architectural, the leaves persistent and sculptural rather than feathery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndoors it starts narrow and vertical as a young pot plant and develops a sturdier, woody stem and a fuller crown with age; lower leaves may drop on older specimens leaving a visible trunk. New foliage reliably shows that red‑to‑dark ontogenetic colour shift, and brighter indirect light intensifies the burgundy tones while lower light pushes the foliage toward plain green. Pruning above nodes encourages branching for a bushier shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn everyday ownership expect a bold visual effect but some trade‑offs: colour intensity depends on light and will soften in dim conditions, and the sap can irritate skin and is toxic to pets—handle and place accordingly. Typical indoor pests that affect glossy leaves can occur and moderate drainage is important; this is a chosen cultivar commonly stocked by European growers rather than a recent patented introduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose a size to suit the space: a baby pot makes a compact grow‑on or shelf plant, a medium sits well on a side table or desk for immediate impact, while a larger specimen creates a fuller display and greater visual presence in an entryway or living area.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plant Circle","offers":[{"title":"Baby - P6 H15","offer_id":54854630867212,"sku":"MM-LUN167","price":9.07,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium - P12 H35","offer_id":54854630899980,"sku":"MM-DG50","price":14.11,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL - P27 H110","offer_id":54854630932748,"sku":"MM-AMM117","price":75.64,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0848\/3553\/3068\/files\/ficus-elastica-abidjan-variant-1.jpg?v=1783163470","url":"https:\/\/plantcircle.com\/en-at\/products\/ficus-elastica-abidjan","provider":"Plant Circle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
