Ficus Elastica ‘Belize’. Pink Rubber Plant. .

The Ficus Elastica ‘Belize’, more commonly known as the Pink Rubber Plant is native to India and Indonesia but in the UK is grown as a very stylish and modern looking houseplant. A relatively new variation ‘Belize’ has large, broad oval leaves in striking glossy tones of pink, cream and green. Newly emerging leaves are more vibrantly coloured but this fades slightly as they mature.

One of the most effective plants for filtering and purifying air, this very ‘trendy’ plant is a great for providing a focal point in either office or home. Easy to care for, liking bright indirect light but coping relatively well with lower light conditions and even withstanding a certain amount of neglect. May be placed outside during summer. Please be aware the sap can be an irritant.
