Rubber
Rubber Plant, scientifically known as Ficus elastica, is a popular and robust indoor plant valued for its glossy, dark green foliage and easy care. Native to Southeast Asia, the Rubber Plant features large, leathery leaves that can grow up to 12 inches long, adding a touch of elegance and tropical flair to any room. The plant typically grows 3 to 6 feet tall indoors, though it can reach up to 10 feet in optimal outdoor conditions. Rubber Plant thrives in well-draining soil and prefers bright, indirect light, though it can adapt to lower light conditions. It is relatively low-maintenance, requiring regular watering to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Pruning can help maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. With its attractive foliage and adaptability, the Rubber Plant is a great choice for enhancing indoor spaces. At Balaji Blossoms, we offer high-quality Rubber Plant specimens to bring natural beauty to your home or office.
