The Ficus Robusta, better known as the Rubber Plant — is the definition of low-maintenance luxury. With its glossy, deep green leaves and strong upright form, it brings instant polish and calm to any room. Native to Southeast Asia, this plant has earned its place as a design classic, simple, sculptural, and quietly dramatic.
It’s an easy one to love and even easier to care for, thriving on a bit of routine and plenty of bright, indirect light.
Plant Care
Light: Loves bright, indirect light but can handle some soft morning or late afternoon sun. Avoid harsh midday rays that can scorch the leaves.
Watering: Water when the top few inches of soil are dry. It’s happier slightly under-watered than too soggy — drainage is key.
Temperature: Prefers a steady 15–25°C. Keep it away from cold draughts or direct heat sources.
Humidity: Tolerates normal home humidity but enjoys an occasional mist or a wipe-down to keep those leaves glossy.
Feed: A balanced houseplant fertiliser every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer will keep it thriving.
Good to Know
Air Purifying: Great for removing toxins and improving air quality.
Growth: Fast-growing in the right light — can reach impressive indoor heights.
Toxicity: Mildly toxic if ingested, so keep out of reach of pets and children.
Also Known As: Rubber Plant, Indian Rubber Tree.
Origin: Native to the tropical forests of India and Southeast Asia.
