Rubber Plant 

Bold, glossy, and timeless, the Rubber Plant is a classic indoor statement plant loved for its deep green to burgundy-toned foliage and clean upright form. With its broad leathery leaves and tree-like structure, it brings a stronger, more refined presence into the home while still being easy to style in modern interiors.

At around 120cm tall, this is a substantial floor plant that works beautifully in living rooms, entryways, offices, and styled corners that need more height and weight. Its darker foliage gives it a richer, more grounded look compared to softer green houseplants.

Product Specifics

• Plant: Rubber Plant / Ficus elastica

• Grow pot size: average 30cm
• Pot size may vary slightly based on individual batch
• As this is a live plant, branching, fullness, and leaf tone may vary naturally from plant to plant

Repotting Recommendation

This plant is usually kept in a tight nursery pot with older nursery soil, mainly to support growing and transport stability. Over time, the roots may become quite established or slightly overgrown in the pot, and in some cases, you may notice roots starting to emerge from below. When this happens, the plant may not always sit as firmly or evenly in its original grow pot.

For that reason, we do recommend repotting after purchase for:

• fresher soil conditions
• better root space for continued growth
• improved stability and drainage
• a neater, more decorative finished look

Repotting helps the plant settle more comfortably into its new home while giving it a stronger long-term growing setup.

Good to Know

Older lower leaves may naturally yellow and shed over time as the plant grows. Minor surface marks or small blemishes on leaves can also happen naturally from handling and transport and are usually cosmetic
