Rubber Plant Bio
Native to Southeast Asia, the tropical Rubber Plant, also known as Ficus Elastica, thrives in warmth and sunlight. In Feng Shui, its round-shaped leaves are believed to soften a space and bring good fortune and wealth. Historically, its milky white sap was used by ancient civilisations to produce rubber. With its impressive size and natural ability to purify the air of common household toxins, the Rubber Plant is a perfect indoor plant, loved for its ease of growing.
Light Instructions

The Rubber Plant thrives in bright, direct light where sunlight streams in, but it can also adapt to bright, indirect light where the sun’s rays are diffused. Avoid placing it in low-light areas or spaces without natural light.

Rubber Plant Care

During its first few days at home, your Rubber Plant will be extra sensitive and may shed a few leaves. You can let them fall naturally or trim them – no need to worry, as new leaves will soon take their place. To help it adjust, avoid moving the pot too often and allow it to settle in one spot. To promote healthy growth, dust the leaves occasionally and rotate the pot a quarter turn once a month. If you want to control its shape and height, prune it as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do Rubber plants actually make rubber?

Yes, Rubber plants produce low-grade rubber. Natural rubber comes from latex, which is found in the sap of the Rubber plant. The latex is extracted through a process called rubber tapping.

How toxic are Rubber plants?

Rubber plants are classified as Class 4 on the toxicity scale, meaning they are mildly toxic. However, they should never be ingested, so it’s best to keep them out of reach of children and pets. If the sap comes into contact with the skin, wash it off immediately. Those with a known latex allergy should take extra care.
