Introduction:

Green Island Ficus is a beautiful, fast-growing tree. It makes a great indoor plant or outdoor shade tree. When planted outside, it can grow up to 30 feet tall by 30 feet wide.

As the Ficus elastica likes to be in soil with a good amount of moisture, avoid placing it somewhere drying, such as near a drafty window or vent, heater, or in direct sunlight. Bright, indirect light is ideal for growing the Rubber Plant, however they are unusually tolerant of lower light spaces for a ficus.

Being a low-maintenance plant, it’s no wonder why the Green Island Ficus, also known as the Ficus Microcarpa, is quite popular.
