Ficus Belize 23cm

🌿 Ficus elastica ‘Belize’ Care Guide

Belize is all about bold colour — thick glossy leaves splashed with shades of green, cream, and blush pink that make this one of the most striking Rubber Plants around. Tougher than it looks, fast-growing, and a brilliant statement plant. 🌿✨

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light
• Needs strong filtered light to maintain its pink variegation
• Can handle a little gentle morning or late afternoon sun
• Avoid harsh midday sun, which can scorch the lighter areas

💧 Water

• Allow the top half of the soil to dry out between waterings
• Water thoroughly, then let excess drain away
• Avoid leaving the plant sitting in wet compost

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers moderate humidity (40–60%)
• Grows happily in normal household conditions
• Extra humidity can encourage larger, healthier leaves

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 4–6 weeks during active growth
• Use a balanced liquid fertiliser
• Reduce feeding during autumn and winter

🌱 Quick Tips

• Rotate regularly for even growth
• Wipe the large leaves occasionally to keep them glossy and dust-free
• Brighter light helps maintain the strongest pink colouring
• Can grow into a large statement plant over time
