Rubber Tree

Native to Southeast Asia, Rubber Plant (Ficus elastica) is a hardy indoor tree known for its thick, shiny leaves. It has been a classic houseplant for centuries, valued for its bold look and forgiving care.

Prefers bright, indirect light; tolerates medium light. Avoid prolonged direct sun, which may scorch leaves.

Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry. Thrives in normal home humidity. Wipe leaves regularly to maintain shine. Fertilize monthly during growing season.

As an Earth energy plant, Rubber Tree embodies strength, resilience, and nourishment—echoing the Chinese Earth element’s role in grounding and stability. In Feng Shui, Earth energy resides in the Southwest and Center of the home, areas tied to relationships and overall well-being. Place your Rubber Tree in one of these sectors to enhance family harmony and inner balance. Its upright growth also aligns with the Root Chakra, anchoring you to the present and fostering a sense of security.

Your plant will be carefully packaged with protective sleeves and cushioning to ensure safe arrival. We ship orders within 2–3 business days, and most plants arrive in 3–10 business days depending on your location and plant condition.

Because plants are living beings, some minor imperfections — like a bent leaf or slight soil disturbance — may occur during transit. This is normal and will not affect the plant’s health. We also adjust shipping schedules during severe weather and include heat packs in winter months when needed to protect your plant.
