🌿 Meet Ficus elastica, the rubber plant. Those big glossy leaves are basically solar panels, so a little dust means less energy. Wipe them with a damp cloth and she’ll thank you with growth.
Quick care notes, Botanifam:
☀️ Bright, indirect light
💧 Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry
🔄 Rotate her every so often so she doesn’t lean toward the window
⚠️ The milky sap can irritate skin, so wash your hands after pruning
She’s tall, glossy, and low-maintenance, so she’s basically the plant world’s overachiever. Just don’t let her know she’s the favorite. 😉
Plant the seed, cultivate the knowledge. 🌱
