Total:

Ficus elastica, the rubber plant, is a much-loved indoor tree prized for its large, leathery, glossy leaves in deep green, burgundy, or variegated shades. A vigorous member of the fig family, it makes a strong architectural statement and adapts well to Indian indoor conditions when given bright light and warmth. With age it forms a sturdy upright trunk and can be kept compact through pruning. It is forgiving of occasional neglect, dislikes only cold and waterlogging, and rewards steady care with bold, polished foliage that lifts any living space.

Growing tips

Place near a bright window but shield from intense afternoon sun in Indian summers. Wipe dust off the leaves regularly so they stay glossy and photosynthesize well, and keep it warm through winter.

Rubber Plant Care

The Rubber Plant (Ficus elastica) is one of the easiest indoor plants to keep, thriving in bright, indirect light and tolerating a little shade. Water only when the top inch or two of soil feels dry, letting the pot drain fully so the roots never sit in water. Wipe the broad, glossy leaves now and then to clear dust and keep them breathing, and feed lightly through the warmer months for steady new growth.

Rubber Plant Burgandy Colour & Foliage

This Burgandy variety of Ficus elastica is prized for its deep, wine-tinged leaves that darken to near-black in good light, adding rich contrast to a room. The thick, leathery foliage holds a natural sheen and stays handsome year-round with very little fuss. Give it a brighter spot to bring out the deepest burgundy tones, as low light nudges the colour back towards green.

Where to Place Your Rubber Plant

Rubber Plants suit living rooms, hallways, bright office corners and balconies with filtered light, growing upright and tall to become a natural focal point. Keep it away from cold draughts and direct harsh afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves. Its upright habit means it fits neatly into corners while still making a statement, and it pairs well with a well-draining pot and mix from the same order.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I water a rubber plant?
Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil dries, typically weekly in summer and less in winter. Let excess water drain fully.
How much light does it need?
Bright indirect light keeps leaves rich and glossy. Too little light causes dull, leggy growth, while harsh sun can scorch leaves.
Is the rubber plant safe for pets?
No, it is toxic to cats and dogs. The milky sap can cause mouth irritation and stomach upset if chewed.
When should I repot it?
Repot every one to two years in spring as the roots fill the pot, using fresh well-draining mix.
How do I propagate it?
Use stem cuttings rooted in water or soil, or air layering for a quicker, sturdier new plant.
Why are leaves turning yellow and falling?
Usually overwatering, cold, or sudden moves. Check drainage, keep it warm, and maintain a stable spot.
Does it flower indoors?
It rarely flowers indoors and is grown purely for its striking foliage.
Can I grow it outdoors?
Yes, in a sheltered, partly shaded spot above 10 C. Protect young plants from strong sun and cold winds.
Is the sap harmful?
The white latex sap can irritate skin and eyes. Wear gloves when pruning and wash off any sap.
What fertilizer is best?
Feed a balanced liquid fertilizer monthly during the growing season and pause in winter.
