Quick Guide

  • Large, glossy leaves
  • Easy to care for
  • Thrives in bright, indirect light
  • Excellent air purifier
  • Upright growth habit

The Ficus elastica 'Robusta', commonly known as the Rubber Plant, is a striking indoor foliage plant celebrated for its large, glossy, dark green leaves. These broad, leathery leaves create a bold and dramatic statement, adding a touch of elegance to any home or office setting.

Ideal for brightening up living rooms, bedrooms, or office spaces, the Rubber Plant thrives in bright, indirect light but can also tolerate lower light conditions, making it versatile for various indoor locations. Its upright growth habit and substantial foliage make it a perfect choice for corners and as a standalone statement piece. Complement this plant with other large-leaf plants like the Monstera or Bird of Paradise for a lush, tropical feel.

In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the Ficus elastica 'Robusta' is known for its excellent air-purifying properties, helping to remove toxins from the air and improve indoor air quality. This plant is relatively easy to care for, making it suitable for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts. It can reach a maximum height of up to 2 meters indoors with a spread of around 1 meter. Trimming is typically only required to manage its height or remove any damaged leaves. While primarily an indoor plant, it can also enjoy time outdoors in the UK during warm, frost-free months.

Plant Care Guide

The Ficus elastica 'Robusta' requires minimal care to thrive. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring good drainage to prevent root rot. Maintain moderate humidity levels by misting occasionally or placing the plant on a humidity tray. Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Provide bright, indirect light and avoid direct sunlight. The ideal temperature range is 18-24°C. Protect the plant from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
