The rubber plant gets its name from the white latex running through its veins, which used to be used to make rubber. The thick glossy green leaves even have a rubber-like look to them. It will grow upright & form a beautiful plant which can be put on centre stage. They are easy to grow & will be very happy in a bright room but with plenty of shade available too. The perfect accompaniment for a north facing room. Keep away from cold draughts & radiators, & will need a constant temperature of 16C (60F) & 24C (75F).

- harvest & enjoy! Plants are very vigorous & growth should be limited by restricting the roots to a large container (which will also encourage fruit formation).

Ficus Lyrata Compacta

Well known as the Fiddle-leaf Fig, this elegant house plant is grown for its impressive foliage. Each leaf is stiff and has a leathery feel with a distinctive curved shape and pale, prominent veins. Ficus lyrata 'Compacta' is a luscious evergreen, with a lovely glossy sheen that reflects light beautifully. Although it grows relatively slowly, if given the right growing conditions it will ultimately form a tall, slender specimen that will be a fine focal point for your home. Ficus lyrata 'Compacta' needs plenty of bright light which is why it is a good choice for a conservatory or bright living room. If it is getting insufficient amounts of light it will start to shed its leaves. Keep away from radiator and cold draughts also. The best temperature should be between 16C (60F) and 24C
(75F).Water well between the spring and autumn. Let the surface of the soil dry out each time. In the winter reduce the amount of watering but do not let it dry out completely. Feed between March and September.Height: 300cm (118). Spread: 100cm (39).
