{"product_id":"ficus-robusta","title":"Ficus Robusta","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn incredibly handsome indoor plant, Ficus Robusta have been a popular choice for indoor plant enthusiasts for a number of years. This normally large tropical rainforest plant is quite happy being grown as an indoor plant and will create a colourful display for many years with the correct care. Ficus Robusta shows off beautiful glossy foliage of deep green with burgundy undertones, and the new growth is developed inside a burgundy coloured sheath which falls off when the leaf is mature enough to unfurl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRubber Trees grow well in a warm position and will cope with gentle sunlight. Being a variegated plant, Ficus Ruby will need a fairly bright position to grow well but protection from the scorching sun is required as the foliage is likely to burn if left in the scorching sun. Reasonably drought tolerant, Ficus will cope with irregular watering and will look sad and a bit droopy when thirsty. Preferring light humidity, Ficus appreciate regular watering, but do not let the plant become waterlogged as this will cause fungal issues and most likely death, particularly during Winter. For best results fertilise regularly with a slow release fertiliser and repot every few years using a good quality potting mix for indoor plants. In warmer climates, these gorgeous plants will brighten up a sheltered shady position outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e**Rubber plants are naturally single stemmed and will grow quite tall. Pruning out the tip of these plants once of twice will encourage multi stemmed growth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garden Express Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53828281237688,"sku":"P10FICROB","price":12.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/0805\/2920\/files\/ficus-p10ficrob-robusta-1.jpg?v=1785384993","url":"https:\/\/gardenexpress.com.au\/products\/ficus-robusta","provider":"Garden Express Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
