Rubber Tree

The rubber tree, scientifically known as Ficus elastica, is a popular and striking tropical plant native to the eastern parts of South Asia and Southeast Asia. Renowned for its glossy, thick, leathery leaves in deep green or variegated shades, this majestic plant has become a staple in indoor horticulture across the globe. In its natural habitat, it can grow into a massive canopy tree featuring dramatic aerial roots. As an indoor houseplant, it is celebrated for its architectural beauty, ability to adapt to indoor lighting conditions, and its capacity to help improve indoor air quality by filtering out common household toxins.
