This cultivar has the upright woody stems and thick evergreen leaves of Ficus elastica, with a brighter leaf palette than the plain green forms.

Ficus elastica ‘Belize’

Ficus elastica ‘Belize’ is a variegated rubber plant with glossy oval leaves marked in green, cream and pink, often with reddish-pink midribs and warm colour on fresh growth. The colour is strongest when new leaves expand, then settles into a layered pattern as the leaf surface hardens.

This cultivar has the upright woody stems and thick evergreen leaves of Ficus elastica, with a brighter leaf palette than the plain green forms. Each new leaf emerges from a protective sheath before opening into a broad, leathery blade with irregular pale margins and red-flushed details.

Pink-variegated rubber plant foliage

  • Leaf pattern: Broad glossy leaves carry irregular green, cream and pink variegation.
  • Midrib colour: Reddish-pink midribs add extra colour through the centre of each leaf.
  • New growth: Fresh leaves often show stronger pink tones before the mature pattern settles.
  • Stem habit: Upright woody stems create a small indoor tree shape over time.
  • Pale tissue: The pale leaf sections can scorch or brown when sun, heat or watering changes too sharply.

Growth and background of Ficus elastica ‘Belize’

The species Ficus elastica is a tropical fig tree from wet tropical regions of Asia. In a pot, Ficus elastica ‘Belize’ keeps the species’ thick leaves, upright shoots and latex-bearing stems, while the pale and pink sections need filtered light, warmth and an evenly draining mix.

As the plant matures, the stem gradually becomes firmer and the leaf canopy becomes heavier at the top. Pruning above a node can encourage branching, while an unpruned plant usually keeps a cleaner single-stem or few-stem outline.

Light and watering for colourful Ficus elastica leaves

  • Light: Place in bright filtered light. Pale and pink leaf sections are more prone to scorching in harsh direct sun.
  • Watering: Let the upper potting mix dry before watering again, then water thoroughly and drain the pot fully.
  • Substrate: Use a free-draining mix with bark, perlite, pumice or similar mineral material to protect the roots from stale moisture.
  • Warmth: Keep temperatures steady, ideally above 18 °C, and avoid cold windowsills during winter nights.
  • Humidity: Moderate humidity helps curled new leaves open smoothly, especially in dry heated rooms.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during spring and summer. Avoid heavy fertiliser on a stressed or recently repotted plant.
  • Cleaning: Wipe leaves gently with a damp soft cloth so dust does not dull the glossy variegation.
  • Pruning: Trim above a node to manage height, allowing for latex sap from the cut stem.

Common issues on Ficus elastica ‘Belize’

  • Brown edges: Check for direct sun, dry heat or irregular watering, especially on pale leaf margins.
  • Sudden shedding: Review temperature changes, draughts and root moisture after moving or shipping.
  • Yellow lower leaves: Lift the inner pot and inspect drainage if the substrate stays wet for several days.
  • Slow, soft growth: Check whether the plant is sitting too far from a window and adjust placement gradually.
  • Sticky patches: Look for scale insects along stems and midribs before assuming the mark is only spilled sap.

Safety around Ficus elastica ‘Belize’

Ficus elastica ‘Belize’ contains milky latex in its leaves and stems. The sap can irritate skin and eyes, and ingestion may irritate the mouth or digestive tract of pets. Keep the plant out of reach of chewing pets and children, and use gloves when cutting stems or removing damaged leaves.

Name and botanical placement

Ficus elastica belongs to Moraceae, the fig family. Ficus comes from the Latin word used for fig, and elastica refers to the elastic latex associated with the species.

New flushes bring pink over cream-and-green leaves before the blades harden into a glossy rubber plant canopy.

Fits perfectly in the Epson ET-2720 and reset software worked!
The waste ink pad replacement fit perfectly in the Epson ET-2720 and looked to be identical to the original that needed replacing. The reset software they provide also worked without any issue.

Not everything included
It says it comes with program to reset the printer an all the information that came with the tanks takes you to sites that want you to buy the key to unlock. These were purchased with the idea everything you needed came with it.

Perfect to fix your Epson Ink Pad Counter Issue
Exactly what I needed! My Epson ET-4700 started displaying an 'E-11' error on the display so I learned I would have to replace the ink pad. The package came with 4 ink-pad receptacles, four baggies for discarding the old ones, plastic gloves and even a miniature screwdriver to get the backing off of the printer. The hardware part was super simple to remove the old and install the new. Hit a bit of a snag with the included software(which was a link to a website)which Windows Defender kept blocking no matter what I tried, but a quick email to support they answered right away. Sent me to a link for better software and I was able to successfully get my printer working again. A+++ transaction and service. Thanks again!
