Description
The Rubber Plant (Ficus elastica) is a classic, bold indoor plant that has been a favourite for UAE homes and offices for decades. With its large, glossy leaves in deep green, burgundy, or variegated forms, and its strong, upright growth habit, the Rubber Plant makes a powerful architectural statement in any interior — while being remarkably easy to care for in Dubai's air-conditioned environments.
Why Choose Rubber Plant?
- Large, glossy leaves in rich green or burgundy — a bold, architectural statement plant
- One of the easiest large indoor plants to care for — ideal for beginners and busy plant owners
- Thrives in bright to medium indirect light — adaptable to a range of UAE interior conditions
- Tolerates dry AC air and irregular watering better than most large-leaved plants
- One of NASA's top air-purifying plants — removes formaldehyde and other toxins from indoor air
Care Guide for UAE Homes
Place in bright to medium indirect light — avoid direct harsh sunlight which can scorch the leaves. Water when the top 3–5cm of soil feels dry, typically every 7–14 days depending on the season. Ensure excellent drainage and never allow the plant to sit in standing water. Keep away from direct AC vents. Feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertiliser during the growing season. Wipe large leaves regularly to keep them glossy and dust-free.

Plants Care
Watering:
Water your plant once a week or when the soil starts to feel slightly dry on the surface. Keep the soil consistently moist, but be careful not to overwater, as this can cause brown spots and leaf drop. If the leaves become curly or dry, it's a sign that the plant needs water. It's best to water your plant in the early morning or late evening when the temperatures are cooler. Always check the soil before watering.
Light:
Provide bright indoor light or indirect sunlight for about 6 to 8 hours a day.
Temperature:
Maintain temperatures between 18°C and 24°C. Avoid exposing the plant to drafts, as these can cause undesirable temperature fluctuations. Mist the plant occasionally, about twice a week, to help maintain optimal humidity levels.
Fertilizer:
Apply liquid fertiliser every 15 days when the plant is actively growing. For best results, use Folikraft ready-to-use Indoor Plant Food.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! We ensure that every plant we send out meets two key criteria:
- We carefully inspect each plant for signs of root rot, pests, disease, and unhealthy foliage or stems. If we find any issues, we don’t ship the plant. This meticulous care ensures that every plant is healthy and ready to thrive in its new home.
- We ask ourselves if we’d proudly display the plant in our own homes and if it matches the online photos. If both answers are yes, we ship it. However, if you're not happy with your plant, we offer a hassle-free replacement within 14 days of delivery.
Yes, we strive to match the appearance of the plants shown online. While natural variations in color, shape, and size are to be expected, we do our best to ensure your plant closely resembles its online image.
Your plant will arrive in its nursery pot to ensure safe transportation. We recommend leaving it in this pot for at least 6 to 12 months to acclimate to your home’s environment. For succulents, which acclimate faster, we may replant them before shipping.
Consider the following:
- Light: A bright, indirect light spot offers more plant options than a shady area.
- Time: Some plants need minimal care, while others require more attention.
- Style: Choose plants that match your aesthetic, whether tree-like with large leaves or vining varieties.
