DESCRIPTION
The Ficus Elastica ‘Lemon Lime’, also known as the Rubber Plant, is a striking addition to any indoor space with its vibrant green and yellow variegated leaves. Belonging to the Moraceae family, this plant is native to Southeast Asia and is well-loved for its easy care and air-purifying qualities. It thrives in bright, indirect light but can also tolerate some direct sunlight. In Singapore’s humid climate, it’s best to water the plant once a week or whenever the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. The Rubber Plant prefers a well-draining potting mix and benefits from occasional misting to maintain humidity. It is important to keep this plant away from pets, as it is toxic if ingested. The Ficus Elastica ‘Lemon Lime’ adds a touch of tropical elegance to any home and rewards its owner with minimal fuss and maximum visual appeal.
