| Description | Ficus elastic Abidjan is a popular ornamental plant from the Ficus genus. The Ficus Elastica Abidjan is also known as a rubber plant. This is because its deep, dark-green leaves used to be used for the extraction of rubber. The rubber plant has a strong air-purifying effect and requires little care, making it hugely popular as a houseplant. It’ll even survive in a corner with minimal daylight. |
