The Ficus elastica, or Rubber Tree, is known for its thick, glossy leaves and latex sap that was once used in rubber production! This same sap makes the Rubber Tree toxic, so the best practice is to keep it out of the reach of curious pets and small children. Give your plant plenty of bright indirect light to help it retain its dramatic foliage.
Each plant is unique; size and shape fluctuate by season so all measurements are shown as a range
Small plant arrives in a 5" wide nursery grow pot and measures between 10"-15" tall from the soil line to the top of the foliage
Large plant arrives in 10" diameter grow pot and measures between 18-28" tall from the soil line to the top of the foliage
If you purchase a small plant with a planter, the plant in grow pot will ship nestled in the planter
If you purchase a large plant with a planter, the planter will ship separately
