Rubber Tree

Description

The Rubber Fig, also known as Ficus Robusta, is a popular indoor plant that is native to Southeast Asia. It is a member of the fig family and is known for its large, glossy leaves that are thick and rubbery to the touch. The plant can grow up to 120cm tall, but can also be found in smaller sizes of around 30cm. The Rubber Fig is a low-maintenance plant that is easy to care for, making it a great choice for beginners. It prefers bright, indirect light and should be watered when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it is important to ensure that the soil is well-draining. One of the unique features of the Rubber Fig is its ability to purify the air. It is known to remove toxins such as formaldehyde and benzene from the air, making it a great addition to any home or office.
