Thank you! The leaves on these look quite similar to our rubber plant - is that a type of ficus?
Yes, rubber plants are ficus types. But to be fair, there is a huge variety within the ficus, so look them up. Some have very small leaves, other have very large and sparse leaves.
I didn't know that about rubber plants, thanks. Yes, I was thinking of the ficus benjamina, with smallish leaves and an arching/drooping habit.
I also picture that type of ficus when I see /hear the word first, but after moving to another country I learned that's not a universal standard... I think the benjamina ones are the prettiest ficus you can get potted indoors.
