Rubber Plant (Ficus Robusta)

Bold, lush, and timelessly elegant — the Rubber Plant is a striking statement of natural beauty and strength. Native to the warm, tropical forests of Southeast Asia, this evergreen shrub from the Ficus family is cherished for its broad, glossy leaves that gleam in deep shades of green. Their thick, rubbery texture not only gives the plant its name but also contributes to its resilience and longevity, making it a favorite for both beginners and plant connoisseurs.

The Ficus Robusta is a fast-growing plant that can reach up to 120 cm in height, instantly adding structure and height to any interior space. Its upright form and richly hued leaves complement modern, minimalist interiors as beautifully as traditional settings. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this plant is also a natural air purifier, known to absorb toxins such as formaldehyde and benzene — keeping your home or office air fresh and healthy.

Easy to care for and wonderfully forgiving, the Rubber Plant thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers its soil to dry slightly between waterings. Its ability to adapt to indoor conditions, combined with its sculptural presence, makes it an enduring symbol of refined greenery.

At Acacia, we cultivate our Rubber Plants at our own farms in the UAE, ensuring that each one embodies pristine quality, vibrant color, and long-lasting vitality — a reflection of nature’s luxury, perfected through care.
