Description
Rubber Tree: Bold & Air-Purifying Houseplant
The Rubber Tree (Ficus elastica) is a striking evergreen plant with large, glossy leaves that add a bold touch to interiors. Popular as both a houseplant and office décor choice, it’s admired for its dramatic look, resilience, and air-purifying qualities.
5 Benefits of Rubber Tree in Indoor Spaces
1. Air Purification
Known for filtering toxins such as formaldehyde, the Rubber Tree improves indoor air quality and supports healthier living.
2. Bold Aesthetic Appeal
With its broad, shiny leaves in deep green, burgundy, or variegated patterns, it brings elegance and a modern tropical vibe to any room.
3. Low Maintenance
Rubber Trees adapt well indoors, requiring only moderate watering and bright, indirect light, making them suitable for busy lifestyles.
4. Size Versatility
Can be grown as a compact tabletop plant or nurtured into a tall indoor tree up to 8–10 feet, depending on the space.
5. Stress Relief
Studies suggest caring for indoor plants like Rubber Trees helps reduce stress, increase focus, and improve mood.

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
Can you really get a good plant online?
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.
Will my plant look like the plants on your website?
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.
How will my plant arrive?
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.
How do I pick the best plant for me?
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.
