Rubber Tree (Ficus Robusta)

Bold, timeless, and effortlessly sophisticated — the Rubber Tree, also known as Ficus Robusta, is a statement of natural strength and elegance. Native to the lush tropical forests of Southeast Asia, this evergreen shrub is cherished for its large, glossy leaves that shimmer with a deep, velvety green hue. Their thick, rubber-like texture not only gives the plant its name but also makes it one of the most resilient and striking houseplants in modern décor.

Growing gracefully up to 120 cm in height, the Rubber Tree adds height, texture, and richness to any space — whether it’s a contemporary living room, a sunlit office corner, or a minimalist interior. Its upright form and lustrous leaves exude calm confidence and refined simplicity.

Perfect for both new and experienced plant owners, the Ficus Robusta is wonderfully low-maintenance. It thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers its soil to dry slightly between waterings. Beyond its visual appeal, the Rubber Tree is also a powerful natural air purifier, known for filtering harmful toxins like formaldehyde and benzene — creating a cleaner, healthier indoor environment.
