ADD A BEAUTIFUL FITTED POT (OPTIONAL)
Ficus elastica 'Belize' is a beautiful tree species that have million-dollar looks. It produces oval, glossy, leathery, green leaves flushed with pink and cream camouflage-style variegation. A fascinating focal point in your home, the Ficus elastica 'Belize' variegated Rubber tree is sure to be much admired by any visitor. Fresh from the covers of style magazines, its decorative leaves and beautiful looks will complement any room.
Ficus elastica 'Belize' is a beautiful variety of the popular Rubber Plant, known for its large and glossy, deep green leaves. This particular cultivar has slightly smaller leaves than its cousin, but it still maintains the same stunning aesthetic.
In the wild, Ficus elastica 'Belize' is native to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia, where it grows as a large tree, reaching heights of up to 100 feet tall. It thrives in warm, humid environments and prefers bright, indirect light.
Ficus elastica 'Belize' is an excellent choice for a houseplant due to its low maintenance needs and air-purifying properties. It can tolerate a range of lighting conditions and does not require frequent watering.
When it comes to styling this plant in smaller spaces, it is an ideal choice for shelves and tabletops. Its compact size makes it perfect for adding some greenery to any room without taking up too much space. Consider pairing it with other plants of varying heights and textures to create an eye-catching display. Alternatively, a single Ficus elastica 'Belize' in a stylish pot can also make a statement on its own.
Ficus elastica 'Belize' plant does better if left to its own devices - just a little water when it gets really dry and occasionally a misting.
We think this Ficus looks really wonderful - if you are looking for tall houseplants then you can train this to be tall and leggy, giving an amazing silhouette that will cast long shadows in the summer.
The Ficus plant makes a fantastic indoor plant gift. If you are purchasing as a gift, we want to make it even better by offering a free handwritten card which will be delivered along with the houseplant. Just remember to include your message at the basket stage of checkout….we won’t give them the paperwork either!
Care level
This Ficus elastica 'Belize' is a great easy-care plant, suitable for beginners.
Where should I put it?
Variegated Ficus likes bright but indirect light and warm temperatures. If you put it in too much sun the leaves may curl and burn, if you see this then move it into more indirect light and it will recover.
How much should I water it?
Water only when the top 2 inches of soil are dry to the touch, do not overwater. It is better to soak the plant through and leave until it dries out again. This plant also enjoys misting and regular dusting.
Does it need feeding?
You can use a liquid feed once a month during spring and summer. Try our vegan, organic plant food.
Is it suitable if I have pets?
No, rubber plants are toxic to pets.
What size is this plant?
Size: W12cm x H25cm, 14cm x H40cm
