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.

The perfect accompaniment for a north facing room. Keep away from cold draughts & radiators, & will need a constant temperature of 16C (60F) & 24C (75F).

Well known as the Fiddle-leaf Fig, this elegant house plant is grown for its impressive foliage. Each leaf is stiff & has a leathery feel with a distinctive curved shape & 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 & cold draughts also. The best temperature should be between 16C (60F) & 24C (75F). Water well between the spring & 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 & September.
Height: 300cm (118). Spread: 100cm (39).

Fig Dalmatie The Fig Dalmatie has a neat, compact habit that is perfect for smaller gardens, or where space is in short supply. This popular Ficus carica develops large fruits with rich amber flesh & an exquisite flavour.
