Why this product works
Product details & specifications
The Artificial Bushy Dense Variegated Ficus Tree (Rubber Tree) at 50 centimetres presents the Ficus elastica variegata — variegated Rubber Tree — in a compact dense interior botanical specimen supplied complete in a pot. The variegated Rubber Tree is botanically distinct from standard Ficus alternatives: the large, glossy, oval leaves with cream and green variegated colouring create a bold botanical leaf character that standard green Ficus trees and other compact interior specimens cannot replicate. At 50 centimetres, a compact interior botanical specimen with strong leaf presence.
The variegated Rubber Tree at 50cm — large glossy cream and green leaves in the most botanically distinct compact Ficus specification. For interior positions where bold variegated leaf character in a compact footprint is the specification.
