# Title: Ficus Elastica Melany On Stem – Green


## Description: Ficus elastica ‘Melany’ on stem (approx. 90 cm) is a live indoor rubber plant trained into a small tree shape, delivered in a Ø21 cm pot with the Mayk “Lead” cover pot. The plant’s thick, oval leaves appear deep green with subtle warm, reddish tones along new growth, giving a calm, structured look that suits modern Scandinavian interiors. As a standard (stam) form, the single trunk keeps the silhouette clean and makes it easy to place in tighter spaces where you still want height—beside a sofa, near a bookshelf, or in a bright hallway corner. The foliage sits neatly at the top, creating a balanced crown that reads more like a compact indoor tree than a sprawling houseplant. Ficus elastica is also known as the rubber plant and is appreciated for its sturdy leaves and reliable growth indoors. Like many leafy houseplants, it contributes to a fresher-feeling room by adding greenery and natural humidity through transpiration. Plant care Light requirements: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Tolerates medium light, but growth will be slower. Avoid harsh midday sun on the leaves. Watering routine: Water when the top 3–5 cm of soil feels dry. In most homes this is about once a week in spring/summer and less in winter. Empty any excess water so roots do not sit wet. Humidity preferences: Moderate household humidity is fine. If the air is very dry (especially in winter), occasional leaf wiping and a slightly more humid spot helps keep leaves looking their best. Temperature range: 18–26°C is optimal. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C. Growth and characteristics Plant species: Ficus elastica ‘Melany’ (rubber plant) Approx. size at delivery: ↨90 cm, pot size Ø21 cm Leaf type: Thick, leathery, oval leaves; new leaves may show warmer red-brown tones before hardening off Growth speed: Moderate in good light; steadier and more compact when kept evenly lit Placement in the home Place your Ficus ‘Melany’ near an east- or west-facing window, or a little back from a bright south-facing window with filtered light. The stem form works well on the floor next to a sideboard or in a bedroom corner where you want greenery without visual clutter. Keep it away from radiators and frequently opened exterior doors to prevent stress from dry heat and drafts. Care tips Rotate the pot a quarter turn every 1–2 weeks for even growth and a straight crown. Feed lightly during the growing season (spring–early autumn) about once a month; reduce to every 6–8 weeks in winter. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and support efficient photosynthesis. Repotting: Consider repotting every 1–2 years, or when roots fill the pot, using a well-draining indoor plant mix. Shipping This plant is shipped directly from a Netherlands grower to ensure freshness and plant health during transport.
