Ficus elastica 'Abidjan' Medium
Deep, glossy elegance for modern homes
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.

Perfect condition of the plant and fastest delivery I’ve ever experienced. Love, love, love
Good plant
I've ordered from this shop twice. The packaging is insane. I live in cyprus and it takes about a week to come to me. Plants are all so healthy. The only one plant which didn't survive much was peperomia ive ordered but that was clearly during the transport. As all leaves came off but I guess its a sensitive plant. All others are thriving and already pushing new growth. I coudnt ve more happier
Beautiful plants and excellent customer service
I love this plant - it’s even more striking in person. I receive nonstop compliments on it. Ordering and delivery was easy, recommend.
