Ficus
Name - Ficus robusta is the well-known rubber plant; Ficus benjamina
the nearly-as-famous weeping fig. Ficus lyrata is the unusual fiddle-leaf fig.
Pronounced FY-kuss
Origin - Moist tropical regions of India, Malaysia,

Care Tips - Rubber plants are quite forgiving and long-lived.
Weeping figs do not like change and can respond to altered routines or conditions
by dropping their leaves in shock. These will regrow once the plant is settled.
