Features

notes

An attractive, rose-tinted variety of the Ficus elastica, the Belize bears large glossy ovate leaves, with pleasingly vibrant variegation patterns of red, dark pink, and cream. An ideal houseplant to bring colour and dynamism to your interior.

Insights

Native to tropical regions of India and Malaysia, its care requirements are similar to that of the Rubber Tree, however its strikingly unique tri-coloured variegation requires brighter light conditions in order to keep the colours strong and defined.

Plant Care

Place your Belize in a location where it can receive bright, indirect light, however please note, too much direct sun will scorch the leaves. Like all tropical plants with large foliage, the Ruby will attract dust, so do take care with wiping the leaves. This particular plant is known to thrive off high humidity; to achieve this within an indoor setting, we recommend grouping your houseplants together or placing the Ruby on a tray of pebbles filled with water.
