    The rubber plant, or Ficus Elastica, is a species of plant in the fig genus native to North Eastern India and surrounding regions. This plant was dubbed “the rubber plant” due to its sticky latex sap that was discovered to dry into a low quality rubber. However, this plant is not to be confused with the more famous rubber tree, (Hevea Brasiliensis) indigenous to the Amazon region of South America.

    The Ficus Elastica enjoys moderate to bright indirect sunlight. Its deep purple and green leaves have a waxy coat that provides a beautiful glossy sheen. New growth often also exhibits shades of pink within the veins, making this a colorful, yet elegant statement plant. With proper lighting and watering habits the rubber plant will grow quickly, often doubling in size within a year.

    Dimensions: Stands 2.5' - 3.5' tall. Nursery pot diameter is 10"

    Sunlight:High Light. This plant needs at least a few of hours of direct sunlight.

    NYC Plant Delivery Van:Local delivery in the New York City area from $20.

    Sunlight:Final Sale Only. Read our Floor Plant Return Policy.

    CARE LEVEL
    Moderate.

    LIGHT REQUIREMENTS
    Prefers bright indirect light, but is adaptable to medium light conditions.

    WATER REQUIREMENTS
    Be sure to water your plant upon delivery. Rubber plants prefer moderately moist soil. A thorough watering when the top 1" - 2" of the soil are dry is ideal. This plant is sensitive to overwatering and susceptible to root rot.

    HUMIDITY PREFERENCE
    Medium humidity. Place your plant away from hot or cold air drafts.  This plant appreciates a gentle misting: the large leaves are dust collectors, and misting will help keep the leaves clean.
