Care in Perth
- Position: Bright, indirect light indoors. Outdoors, grow in a sheltered position with morning sun or filtered light. Avoid harsh afternoon sun, which can scorch the variegated leaves.
- Soil: Well-drained premium indoor potting mix.
- Water: Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering.
- Fertiliser: Feed with a balanced liquid or slow-release fertiliser during spring and summer.
- Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity but adapts well to average indoor conditions.
- Pruning: Trim to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Wipe leaves occasionally to keep them glossy.
Root System
When grown in the ground, Ficus elastica develops a strong, spreading root system, so it should be planted well away from buildings, pipes, and paving. In Perth, it is most commonly grown in containers, where the roots are easily managed.
