Ficus Elastica, aka the Rubber Tree or Rubber Plant, is a species of plant in the Ficus genus, native to eastern parts of South Asia and Southeast Asia. Belonging to the Fig family, Moraceae, it was used for its latex sap to make rubber before synthetics were made available. Rubber plants make excellent houseplants, as they can tolerate low-light and help clean the indoor air from pollutants.

Care Guide

How to take care of Rubber Plant

They should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best and most homes are comprised primarily of indirect sunlight. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day but still get bright, indirect light.

They will do well in medium light but will grow faster with brighter light. A good medium-light place in your home would be in the middle of a room that has a regular size window. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

They like the soil to be relatively dry before the next watering. That usually takes about 2 weeks in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but for them, it's always safer to underwater or water when you see signs of lack of water (i.e. droopy, floppy, or soft leaves). Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.

They can live in any average home humidity condition and are fairly hardy.

This plant is moderately toxic and can cause some adverse reactions when ingested so it is best to not let your pets eat it, which we advise for all plants in general. The severity of the reaction will depend on how much of the plant is ingested but, if you know your pet typically does not eat your plants, this plant will be suitable for your home.

Introducing the Rubber Plant, a bold and resilient houseplant that symbolizes strength, adaptability, and the power of standing tall in the face of adversity.

This impressive plant features large, glossy leaves in a deep green hue, creating a striking display of colour and texture. The Rubber Plant serves as a reminder that embracing our strength and inner resilience can help us grow and thrive, even in challenging circumstances.

To keep your Rubber Plant flourishing, place it in a spot with bright, indirect light, which will help maintain its vibrant colours and robust growth. This steadfast plant teaches us that the right environment can foster growth and resilience in both plants and people.

When it comes to watering, the Rubber Plant prefers to let its soil dry out slightly between waterings. In life and plant care, finding the right balance between nurturing and restraint is essential for success.

As your Rubber Plant grows, it may require support, such as a stake, to help it maintain its upright posture. This serves as a reminder that with the right support and guidance, we too can stand tall and achieve our goals.

Welcome the Rubber Plant into your home, and let it inspire you with its symbolism of strength, adaptability, and the power of standing tall. It's not just a plant; it's a symbol of resilience, determination, and the importance of embracing our inner strength in the face of challenges.
