add a pot to fit this plant
A very rarely seen variety of Ficus with large, thick, leaves similar to those of the Ficus elastica. Prized for its stunning lemon and lime variegation.
The Ficus genus is part of the Moraceae family and most plants are native to Asia and the Mediterranean. There are over 800 different species in the Ficus genus which grow as shrubs, trees and vines.
Often referred to as 'Fig Trees' some of the plants in this genus get their common name from the fig-like fruits they grow in their natural habitat. The Ficus elastica gets its nickname "Rubber Plant" from the latex sap which was, in the past, used to make rubber.
