Ficus elastica Rubber plant – Green

Rubber Plants are quintessential houseplants, popular for decades and quite rightly still on trend today. They are easy to care for and make a sculptural statement in the right location.

Ficus elastica prefers bright, indirect light but does cope quite well in lower light conditions.

Avoid direct sunlight as this may scorch the leaves.

Water when the soil starts to become slightly dry at the top. Keep the soil lightly moist at all times, but do not overwater as this will cause leaf drop.

This Ficus has no specific humidity requirements, although it will benefit from an occasional misting.

For an added boost, consider moving your plant to a steamier room such as a kitchen or bathroom.

Apply a weak dose of a fertiliser once or twice a month during the growing season.

Can grow to many metres tall in its native environment. Indoors however, it is up to you: simply trim to maintain your desired height. Typical indoor heights are anything from 30cm to 2m. Moderate to fast-growing.

This plant filters airborne toxins and is part of our clean air plant collection.
