Ficus elastica 'Abidjan' | Fast EU shipping | Grown with love in the EU | Not pet-safe
Summary: With its striking, dark burgundy-green leaves, this medium-sized Rubber Plant variety brings a bold, sculptural touch to European interiors—perfect for brightening German apartments with minimal effort.
✨ Why You'll Love the Ficus elastica 'Abidjan'
Rich, glossy leaves with a deep burgundy sheen for a dramatic look
Low-maintenance, perfect for beginners and busy plant lovers
Air-purifying qualities help create a healthier indoor climate
Compact size (H35 cm, pot Ø12 cm) makes it ideal for shelves, desks, or side tables
🌞 Light & Placement
Prefers bright, indirect light but tolerates partial shade—ideal for north- or east-facing windows in European apartments. Avoid direct midday sun, which may scorch the leaves.
💧 Water & Humidity
Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Ficus elastica enjoys moderate humidity, but adapts well to typical German indoor conditions. Mist occasionally to keep leaves fresh and dust-free.
🪴 Soil & Potting
Use a well-draining potting mix with peat-free houseplant soil and added perlite or bark. Repot every 1–2 years as the roots grow, ideally in spring.
🐾 Toxicity & Safety
⚠️ Not safe for pets—keep away from cats, dogs, and curious little ones.
🌱 Growth & Propagation
Can grow up to 1–2 m indoors over time. Easily propagated from stem cuttings in water or soil—patience and warmth are key.
📆 Seasonal & Special Care
Thrives year-round in stable indoor climates. During winter, reduce watering and keep away from cold drafts or heaters.
🐛 Common Issues
Yellowing leaves → overwatering
Brown edges → low humidity or underwatering
Sticky leaves → check for pests like scale or mealybugs
🧬 Botanical Background
The Ficus elastica, also known as the Rubber Plant, originates from tropical Southeast Asia. The 'Abidjan' cultivar is prized for its darker, more dramatic foliage compared to the classic green variety.

Very nice and healthy plant! *****
Plant is beautiful and arrived healthy!! *****
...package could've been better (soil got all over the plants), if you could cap the substrate somehow, so it stays in the pot.
