I have a burgundy rubber plant for nearly 5 years now. When I first got it I had been considering getting more to add to my collection. I’m so glad I didn’t because my rubber plant (knee high when I first got it) is now a rubber tree!! The more I trim, the more it branches. It has reached my ceiling a couple times (my ceiling height is about 2.6m). I think it’ll look like a huge indoor bonsai in the years to come. I’m real glad for channels like yours who gives the right information, they thrive so well in bright indirect/direct sunlight. Also when they grow big, they’ll start having a lot of aerial roots, so I had to trim some of them too. The largest leaves it has produced are about the length of my arm to the elbows, width is wider than my fingers can stretch, so they do grow huge. I find trimming regularly will help keep the leaves smaller. I think your golden lemon variety might go even bigger in the future!
Hi. Thanks so much for sharing your experience with your rubber plant, Yes, rubber plants can grow huge like a tree. I have a few here that are more that 6 meter tall. And yes, everytime we trim the plant, it will produce new shoots and branches out. And you are right about my golden lemon has grown quite tall. It is about 2 meter tall now.
I think the one you called "Variegated" is actually Tineke. Variegated means exhibition of different colors, therefore Belize or Ruby, Altissima or Lemon Lime, and Tineke are all the variegated. The one you called Tineke there, is actually Belize also.
Hello! Thank you for this lovely video! I have three of these wonderful specimens and I can't wait to collect more! I think there is another variation called the ficus audrey, it looks a little bit like a fiddle leaf tree but with the typical ficus elastica look.
Your unique collection of rubber plant varieties is awe-inspiring. I just can't wait enough to add all of these in my collection as well. The care & sweat behind the lush green foliage is incomprehensible, unless one has experienced. These amazing rubber plant varieties keep me glued to the screen, leaving me ecstatic, everytime I visit your channel. It's a sheer delight to savour the beauty of plants handled by an expert like you. Stay blessed always. Please do share your contact if possible.
Hi thank you for your wonderful comment. Yes you're right, this plants are beautiful plant . I hope you can collect them as soon as possible. If you are in Malaysia I can supply to you. I have a lot of belize, burgundy, robusto, variegated, and Abidjan.
Highly appreciate your revert. I'm located in India and know the challenges involved in the transportation of theses beauties. Anyways, I thank you for your prompt respond and generous offer. Keep spreading joy & stay blessed.
Wow!... you have a very beautiful rubber plant collection.....so inspiring!..... I hope you can complete your magic 10 soon..... Stay safe and God bless!
Sorry for the late reply. I just realized I missed replying to your comment. it's true. Need to do a lot of comparison and reading to determine actual plant identity. Thank you.
Ficus altissima is a separate species from Ficus elastica. Ficus elastica has been called "Rubber Plant" for many years. Ficus altissima has not been in cultivation as long as Ficus elastica. Ficus altissima has a much thinner/softer/more flexible leaf than Ficus elastica. As a tree altissima can be much faster growing and as it spreads can develop a slighty pendulous habit on its longest branches Your Ficus altissima "Golden" is of course a variegated form of the species altissima. In the future we may see more new varieties of altissima being grown. "Tineke" and "Burgundy" are forms of Ficus elastica and must be grown from cuttings. Many of these are grown in tissue culture laboratories for the nursery industry around the world.. Ficus bengalensis has been grown for centuries. Now we see a form of Ficus bengalensis "Audrey". I believe "Audrey" must be grown from Cuttings. If you were to grow "Audrey" from seed you may have plants that look more like Ficus bengalensis. I believe "Audrey" could also be grown in tissue culture laboratories. The other plants in your video I am not familiar with.
Hi. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and pointing out about altissima. You are right it is a different species. Initially I thought its part of the same species.
Beautiful collection ❤ I think number 5 is not a rubber tree (not ficus elastica) but a variegated ficus altissima which is a different species. (It could also be a variegated ficus benghalensis which also has similar looking veins on the leaves)
It's ficus altissima, it looks like ficus Audrey but the leaf texture is different. I like it more than Banyan tree cus of the yellow/green coloration of the leaf.
I'm so amazed by this wonderful collection. I have a burgandy but I'm so obsessed with Rubber plants. Are all these varieties available in India ? Pls let me know from where I can have the rest of the trees.
Love that rubber plant i have that the first one ang your varigated rubber plant. Hope to have some more like yours... its all gud luck. What fertilizer you have used them? Teach me pls the tips.. tnx be bless. Reply pls.
Hi Dote, thank you for watching. Rubber plant is very easy to care for. It can be both indoor and outdoor. Plant it in a well drained soil and place in a bright shade area. 💕🌱
Lovely rubber plants I have 3 kinds of rubber plant the variegated one. Rubby and the tall one i forget the name I real want to have that lemon and lime rubber plant. Abit expensive here in Australia,
How can I differentiate Belize and Tineke. I am confused with which one I own after seeing this video. You have an amazing collection BTW. Never new there was this much of rubber varieties
Hi Kamalapriya, yes it's little tricky to tell the difference. Belize has variegated green foliage with pink purple tones. Tineke has variegated green and white foliage with a blush of pink. If you have other facts that tells the different, do share with me. I would like to learn too. ♥️🌱
Hi. I kept this under direct sunlight and was doing fine. But recently the sun has been too hot and some of the leaves started to have burns. I moved the plant to indirect sun light and its doing fine. But the original type robusto and burgundy are thriving under scorching sun. I tried other variegated and crossed type rubber plant under direct sun they are also getting burnt leaves. So based on my observation, all variegated types should be placed under indirect sunlight or grown under the canopy of other large trees like the way they occur in the deep tropical forest. Indirect sunlight is the answer.
Hello friend thanks for sharing your vedio beautiful Plants rt now I have three varieties I hope I can collect more I just subscribe watching from California stay connected
I think I bot a abijdan thinking it to to b burgandy.can u pls do a video on those two variety to show the diff.ps say the rate of these plants u bot them for.
I think #5 is ficus benghalensis variegated cultivar or more commonly known as the banyan tree. Not sure whether it falls under rubber plant coz it's not elastica.
@@PlantZone Lovely collection. I myself have a variegated one and a Robusta, and am looking forward to having a collection like yours! However, often cultivars name their variants special names, but there's no good distinction between them, like "Black Prince" vs "Burgundy" for example. ;)
I have not encountered this. It's hard to give an accurate response without seeing the actual plant itself. Is it the new shoot curling or leaves on top branches curling? Usually when leaves curl at the tips mean the plant is trying to retain moisture. If it is curling downwards curling usually indicates bot enough water. In this case the leaves wont be heavy. If overwatering, the leave can show curling downward too but the leaves will feel moist and heavy. Overfeeding with chemical fertilizer can also cause this.
Hi brother, i saw that you have satin or silver money plant, can you please help me in getting this plant, I live in Gurgaon and I seriously need this plant lookimg for this from so long but cant in it, can you help pls
Safari is not ficus elastica but belong to ficus family a variagated variety of ficus benjamina.Your Tineke here looks like Ficus elastica Ruby same as your Belize only Belize is still young.
Sir, my Belize plant is growing in a different way. It is growing downward actually. All its branches are going down like a hanging plant. Also its branches are not so much healthy. Can you please suggest a solution
Lack of water, sunlight, and nutrient can cause this. Try increasing the watering frequency and if in the pot, try moving it to a brighter area where it can get more lights. But don't put in direct sunlight immediately, as this may burn the leaves. Train it first.
I do have Ficus benghalensi / ficus audrey, just that I find it to look quite different than ficus elastica, so I didn't include in this collection, Maybe I will do a comparison video on it soon. Thanks for commenting. Have a great day.
