Ficus-Elastica

Ficus elastica, popularly known as the Rubber Plant or Rubber Fig, is a striking ornamental tree prized for its broad, glossy, deep green leaves and air-purifying qualities. Native to Southeast Asia, this versatile plant can be grown both as a decorative indoor plant or a shade-giving outdoor tree in tropical and subtropical climates.

The Rubber Plant is known for its upright growth, leathery foliage, and tolerance to low light, making it one of the most loved indoor houseplants. When grown outdoors, it can reach up to 40–50 feet in height, forming a dense canopy that provides excellent shade. It thrives in well-drained soil, moderate watering, and indirect sunlight, making it a low-maintenance option for homes, offices, gardens, and commercial landscapes.
