Rubber Plant (Ficus elastica) 01Nos

The Rubber Plant (Ficus elastica) is a popular, low-maintenance indoor tree prized for its large, glossy leaves and air-purifying qualities. Native to South and Southeast Asia, it can grow up to 10 feet tall indoors, making it a dramatic statement piece.Quick Care GuideLight: Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight for 6–8 hours daily. Direct afternoon sun can scorch the leaves, while too little light makes the plant “leggy”.Watering: Water only when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry. Overwatering is a common cause of root rot.Humidity & Temp: Prefers temperatures between 15–25°C (60–75°F). It enjoys moderate humidity; wiping leaves with a damp cloth helps them “breathe” and stay shiny.Maintenance: Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser once a month during spring and summer. Prune the top to encourage a bushier shape.
