Product Details
The Rubber Plant (Ficus elastica), also called Rubber Tree or Indian Rubber Bush, is a bold, tropical stunner native to Southeast Asia. This iconic houseplant features large, glossy, dark green (or variegated) oval leaves that can reach 8–12 inches long, giving it a lush, dramatic presence. It grows upright and tree-like, easily reaching 6–10 feet indoors (with pruning to keep it manageable), making it a perfect floor plant or statement piece for living rooms, offices, or entryways.
People love the Rubber Plant for its striking, architectural foliage that instantly adds a touch of modern elegance and jungle vibe to any space. Its thick, shiny leaves are eye-catching and low-fuss, while it’s known as a solid air-purifier (removing toxins like formaldehyde). It’s a classic favorite among plant lovers who want big impact with relatively simple care—perfect for beginners looking for a “wow” factor without constant attention.
Easy Care Tips
Light: Bright, indirect light is best (east- or west-facing window). It tolerates medium light but grows slower and may drop leaves in low light—avoid direct harsh sun to prevent scorching.
Watering: Water when the top 2–3 inches of soil are dry (check with your finger). It prefers to dry out slightly between watering and hates soggy roots—excellent drainage is key to prevent rot.
Humidity & Temperature: Average household humidity is fine, but it appreciates occasional misting or a pebble tray. Keep warm at 60–80°F (15–27°C); protect from cold drafts below 50°F.
Soil & Feeding: Use a well-draining potting mix (cactus or houseplant mix with added perlite). Feed with balanced liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks in spring/summer; reduce or stop in fall/winter.
Extra TLC: Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to keep them dust-free and glossy. Prune to shape or encourage bushiness. Note: Sap can be irritating and the plant is toxic to pets—handle with care and keep away from curious cats/dogs.
Dramatic, resilient, and effortlessly stylish—the Rubber Plant brings big tropical energy to your home with minimal effort. A timeless classic that’s always in vogue! 🌿
