Ficus elastica, commonly known as the Rubber Plant or Rubber Tree, is a popular indoor plant valued for its attractive foliage and easy maintenance. Native to Southeast Asia, this plant features large, glossy, oval-shaped leaves in shades of green, burgundy, or variegated combinations, adding a touch of elegance to any indoor space.
The Ficus elastica is known for its air-purifying qualities, making it a beneficial addition to home or office environments. It is a hardy plant that can thrive in a variety of light conditions, ranging from bright, indirect sunlight to partial shade. This adaptability, along with its low water requirements and resilience to neglect, makes it a great choice for both beginner and experienced plant enthusiasts.
As a member of the Ficus family, the Ficus elastica can grow into a tall, tree-like specimen if given enough space and time.

Caring for a Ficus elastica involves providing bright, indirect light, well-draining soil, and moderate watering. Place the plant in a location with indirect sunlight and water when the top inch of soil is dry, allowing for proper drainage to prevent root rot.
Maintain a consistent watering schedule, but avoid overwatering, as Ficus elastica is sensitive to waterlogged soil. Ensure that excess water can drain away easily to prevent standing water. This plant thrives in average room temperatures and benefits from occasional misting to increase humidity levels, especially during drier periods.
Fertilize the Rubber Plant lightly during the growing season to support healthy growth. Prune any leggy or yellowing stems to promote new growth and maintain the plant's shape. Keep an eye out for pests like spider mites or scale insects and treat infestations promptly to prevent damage to the plant.
Regularly dust or wipe the glossy leaves to remove dust buildup and keep them looking vibrant. As the Ficus elastica grows, consider repotting it into a slightly larger container every few years to provide ample space for root growth.
