The rubber plant is a worthy classic, but this is a variety with a twist, deep burgundy leaves.

Stems: 2
Pot: ø27cm
Decorative Pot Opening Required: 28cm+ 

For no fuss or mess you can place the plant in its growing pot (the pot it arrives in) inside a decorative one. This allows allows excess water to be drained after watering.

For a good fit the opening (not diameter) and height of the new decorative pot need to be several centimetres greater than the current growing pot.

Remember to take into account tapering, as the internal height of a pot will be measured from the centre to the top but the sides will taper in a rounded pot.
