Description
Ficus elastica Belize is a variegated rubber plant. Its thick leaves blend green, cream and pink, with a bright pink midrib; the young leaves are the most colourful. It keeps the sturdiness of Ficus elastica, with much brighter foliage.

Where to place it
Near a bright window, without scorching sun. The more light it gets, the more intense its pinks; in a dark corner it turns greener.
Caring for your Ficus elastica Belize
- Water when the soil is dry a few centimetres down, then empty the saucer.
- Dust the leaves with cleaning gloves or a damp cloth.
- Turn the pot from time to time for even growth.
- Feed it every three weeks in spring and summer with root feed for foliage plants.
The right potting mix
A free-draining potting soil lightened with perlite, or our Alocasia and tropical plant mix.
Mistakes to avoid
- Lack of light: it loses its colour.
- Direct afternoon sun: the cream areas scorch.
- Too much water in winter.
Frequently asked questions
The older leaves are less pink — is that normal?
Yes. The pink is brightest on young leaves and softens over time.
Every plant is chosen and checked at the studio before it leaves. Delivery anywhere in Morocco, or collection from our studio in Rabat. A plant that arrives damaged will be exchanged: let us know within 48 hours with a photo.
