I can't believe florists don't put an identification tag in the plants they send. I think it may be some sort of interestingly-colored rubber tree as the leaves are heavy and rubbery.
I am not good with indoor plants. This past summer I tossed two Christmas cactus plants that were a gift about 7 years ago. They never quite died, but they never really took off. They looked pretty sad in August, so I threw them out. This plant fits quite nicely in this spot and I would like to find out what it is so I can try to give it proper care. So if you know anything about how to care for it, please leave a comment.

Looks like variegated rubber plant (Ficus elastica 'Doescheri') to me.

Like you I don't know inside plants anymore. Call the florist and ask what they sent you, even though the above seem like good opinions.

ReplyDeleteThose are roses in the frame. That's all I got to say about that!
ReplyDeleteZoey, Your instincts are correct. It's a rubber plant. Enjoy!
