Wasnt sure where to post this but I had to show it off. It's one of my most recent aquisitions on my discounted rounds to Lowes

Rubber Tree
Ficus elastica 'Variegata'

I under stand seeds can be obtained from it. Is that true, anyone?

Very nice ...I happen to love them too...but keep it in the pot ...they are very easy to make lots of cuttings from ...roots even grow in the water. I think they are starting to return to popularity here too.

They are slower growers than the green variety (thank goodness!!!) and I think they are beautiful!!! EASY to make cuttings... Nice Plant, Anaid...

You will probably enjoy this photo too. I wonder how many other cool variety of rubber trees there are. I have 4 different kinds now, but only 2 varigated.

What I like about this plant is asside from the cream and green varieation the new leaves have hints of pin in it. If it does grow slow Im glad cuz I did want this to be an indoor plant so I dont want it growing into a giant real soon.

Beautiful Anaid! I have two types of ficus, but neither are as pretty as that one!

I don't usually care for ficus because of a giant one in my neighbors garden, which now thankfully is gone, but that one is a real beaut! Love the hint of pink!
