Medium Care Not Pet Safe

Rubber Plant

Ficus elastica

A sturdy indoor tree with large, thick, glossy leaves that can be deep green, burgundy, or variegated. It can grow into a magnificent, ceiling-grazing indoor tree.

Care Requirements

Light

Bright, indirect light. Can adapt to medium light, but growth will slow significantly. Variegated varieties need more light.

Water

Water when the top half of the soil is dry. Reduce watering in the winter when the plant is dormant.
