Ficus Lyrata vs Ficus Elastica
ficus elastica I want to show you how fast ficus lyrata and Ficus elastica have grown within a year. I got both of them one year ago. F. Lyrata, also called fiddle-leaf fig and Ficus Elastica or rubberplant are from the same family and genus. However, they grow differently. The rubber plant can deal with less light. I put mine at the north window. I didn‘t see any bad signs. When l put my ficus Lyrata near the north window. I thought it was happy, after l saw that some leaves have little brown spots. I have learned that it is a sign that my ficus Lyrata needs more light. After having them for a year, l have noticed how much they grow. Surprisingly, my rubber plant has thrived faster than my fiddle-leaf fig. While the rubber plant already has grown six new leaves since l got it. The fiddle-leaf fig has only grown three new leaves. ficus lyrata new leaf of f. elastica is thriving I really get the tropical vibes having both plants at home. Everytim
