Ficus elastica ‘Belize’ plant does better if left to its own devices – just a little water when it gets really dry and occasionally a misting.

We think this Ficus looks really wonderful – if you are looking for tall houseplants then you can train this to be tall and leggy, giving an amazing silhouette that will cast long shadows in the summer.

If you are purchasing as a gift, we want to make it even better by offering a free handwritten card which will be delivered along with the houseplant.
