Rubber Plant- Ficus Elastica Robusta

The Ficus Elastica ‘Robusta’, also known as the Rubber Plant, is a striking indoor beauty loved for its bold, glossy foliage. Its large, deep green leaves with a subtle burgundy tint give it a rich, luxurious look, perfect for adding a modern tropical vibe to any space.

With its upright, sturdy stems and dense foliage, the Robusta variety looks fuller and more dramatic than the standard rubber plant. Its clean, architectural form and minimalistic charm make it a favorite for home and office interiors. Whether placed in a corner or as a centerpiece, this plant instantly elevates the aesthetic of the room with a touch of lush greenery and elegance.

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.

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