Ficus Sophia 2 Live Starter Plants – Ficus elastica ‘Sophia’

This listing includes 2 live Ficus Sophia starter plants, a cultivar of Ficus elastica valued for its broad, glossy green foliage and upright growth habit. These are young starter plants, and the smaller plants pictured represent the general stage you can expect to receive. Natural differences in foliage, branching, shape, and overall appearance should be expected.

The plants have fully established root systems and are cultivated in 2-inch nursery pots. These starter plants are not fully rooted throughout the 2-inch pots, and the nursery pots are not included with shipment. Plants are shipped with their soil pods carefully wrapped for transit. Please avoid removing or disturbing the soil pod unnecessarily after arrival.

Ficus Sophia is commonly grown as an ornamental indoor foliage plant. It generally prefers bright, indirect light, a well-draining growing medium, and moderate watering. Allow some drying of the growing medium between waterings rather than keeping the root zone continuously saturated.

Shipping Note: The supplied information also describes the plants as “bare root.” Because it specifically states that a soil pod is retained and wrapped for shipping, this listing uses soil pod without nursery pot as the shipping condition. Verify this detail before publishing if the plants are instead shipped with all growing medium removed.

Plant Condition Disclosure:

Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.

Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.

Important Note:

You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.

Customer Notice:

Live plants may experience normal shipping stress such as leaf loss, yellowing, wilting, or minor branch damage.

Please consider local weather before purchasing. Extreme heat, freezing temperatures, severe weather, shipping delays, or unattended packages may increase plant stress.

Due to the perishable nature of live plants, returns are generally not accepted. If there is an issue with your order, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery and provide the required photos for review.

If there is an issue with your order, contact us within 48 hours of delivery and provide:

• Photos of the shipping box
• Photo of the shipping label
• Clear photos of the plant from multiple angles
• Scratch test photos if the plant appears dead or dormant

Dormant, stressed, defoliated, wilted, or transit-shocked plants are not automatically considered dead.

Claims submitted without required photos may not be eligible for review.

Claims submitted more than 48 hours after delivery will be considered accepted as received and may not be eligible for replacement or refund.
