Verdeia tips
- Upon receipt, take the plant out of its box and allow it 24 to 48 hours to acclimate in a bright place without direct sunlight.
- Check the soil moisture before watering; add a little water only if the surface is dry.
- Avoid heat sources and drafts, and keep a slightly humid atmosphere to preserve the beauty of the foliage.
- Wait 2 to 3 weeks before any repotting, allowing the plant time to stabilize.
- Gently wipe the leaves to remove dust and observe them: slight stress during the first few days is completely normal.

Ficus elastica ‘Abidjan’ — Tropical rubber plant with deep foliage
🌿 Glossy foliage • ☀️ Bright indirect light • 💧 Moderate care • 🏙️ Graphic indoor plant
The Ficus elastica ‘Abidjan’, also called rubber plant, is an iconic tropical plant known for its broad, thick leaves of a deep green with bronze undertones. Its glossy and slightly coppery leaves create an elegant and calming presence, perfect for contemporary and bright interiors.
Easy to care for and robust, it stands out as a reliable choice for the urban jungle. Whether in a stylish living room or a modern office, the Ficus Abidjan brings structure and sophistication while naturally purifying the surrounding air.
Exposure & placement
This tropical plant prefers bright indirect light. It tolerates partial shade but dislikes direct sunlight, which could burn its thick leaves.
