This variety stands out with deep green foliage that can read almost black in lower light, with subtle red midribs and new growth that emerges in warmer tones. Delivered in a practical black nursery pot, it is ready to place inside a decorative planter of your choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe leaves are oval and slightly leathery, designed by nature to hold moisture and stay looking fresh between waterings. With multiple upright stems and a dense crown, Ficus Abidjan brings greenery with structure—useful when you want a plant that looks composed rather than trailing or sprawling. It fits naturally into Scandinavian interiors where the palette is quiet and materials are honest.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePlant care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright, indirect light is ideal.

In a living room corner, beside a sofa, or near a dining area, the upright form reads clean and balanced. It also works well in a home office, where the dense leaves create a calm backdrop. If placed in lower light (such as a hallway), expect slower growth and slightly more open spacing between leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCare tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRotate the plant every few weeks for even growth and to prevent leaning. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep the natural shine—this also helps the plant photosynthesise efficiently. Feed with a balanced houseplant fertiliser every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer; reduce or pause feeding in winter. As with most ficus, the milky sap can irritate skin and is toxic if ingested, so keep it out of reach of children and pets.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eShipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis plant is shipped directly from a Netherlands grower to ensure freshness and plant health during transport.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePlant information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Live indoor plant\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ficus elastica ‘Abidjan’\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ø27 cm pot, approx. 90 cm tall\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePot included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black nursery pot (decorative planter not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MEERgroothandel Planten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53040802005335,"sku":"10031","price":63.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/4552\/4311\/files\/bba44f0d-177d-417c-abdf-fa960c390826_1200x1200_fill.jpg?v=1773782183","url":"https:\/\/emirelle.com\/products\/ficus-abidjan-rubber-plant-dark-green","provider":"EMIRELLE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
