Arrived overnight, looking exactly like the photos

Ordered Tuesday at 8 PM, delivered Wednesday by 9:30 AM. Plant was healthy, tall (about 16 inches), came in the charcoal pot exactly as shown. The packaging was thoughtful — wood shavings, tied stems, no soil spill. Two weeks in and it's already pushed out a new leaf.

Survived me. That's a big deal.

I have killed every plant I have ever owned. Got this for the bedroom. Watered it once in 6 weeks. Still alive, still growing. The team also responded on WhatsApp within an hour when I asked if it was getting too much sun. Not paid to say this.

Beautiful plant, slightly smaller than expected

Plant itself is gorgeous and very healthy. Only minor gripe — I expected the medium size to be taller, but it's closer to 14 inches than 18. Still very happy with it. The Khurja ceramic pot is honestly the best part.

About the Rubber Plant

The Rubber Plant, or Ficus Elastica, is a species of flowering plant in the fig family, native to the eastern regions of South Asia and Southeast Asia. In its natural habitat, it can grow into a large tree with aerial roots, but as a houseplant, it is kept much smaller. Its most striking feature is its thick, dark green, leathery leaves that can sometimes have a hint of burgundy or bronze, especially in new growth. These leaves can grow quite large, making the plant a substantial presence in a room. The plant gets its common name from the latex sap it produces, which was once used to make rubber. Indoors, it's valued for its upright growth habit and its ability to adapt to a variety of indoor conditions, making it a reliable and rewarding plant for any indoor gardener.

Light & Placement

For optimal growth, place your Rubber Plant in a spot with bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some lower light conditions, but its growth may slow down, and the leaves may lose some of their vibrant gloss. Direct, harsh sunlight should be avoided as it can scorch the leaves, causing brown patches and damage. A spot near an east-facing window that gets gentle morning light or a spot a few feet back from a south or west-facing window is ideal. The plant can benefit from the late afternoon sun if it's filtered through a curtain. In terms of placement, Vastu Shastra principles suggest that the Rubber Plant is best placed in the south or south-east direction of a home or office, as it is believed to bring prosperity and positive energy. It makes an excellent floor plant in a living room or a striking statement piece in a well-lit hallway.

Watering & Humidity

Rubber Plants prefer their soil to dry out between waterings. The key is to avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. A good practice is to check the top 1-2 inches of soil with your finger; if it feels dry, it's time to water. When you do water, do so thoroughly, allowing water to flow out of the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot. Then, allow the excess water to drain completely. During the growing season (spring and summer), you may need to water more frequently, perhaps every 7-10 days. In the cooler winter months, the plant's water needs decrease, and you might only need to water every 2-3 weeks. The plant is quite adaptable to average indoor humidity levels, but it will appreciate an occasional misting or a pebble tray with water to increase the humidity around it, especially in dry climates or during the summer months.

Pet Safety & Toxicity

It is important to note that the Rubber Plant is toxic to pets, including cats and dogs. The milky latex sap found in all parts of the plant contains compounds that can cause irritation and discomfort if ingested. Symptoms may include drooling, vomiting, and skin irritation if the sap comes into contact with the skin. If you have curious pets at home, it is best to place the plant in a location that is out of their reach. While the plant is safe for humans to handle, it's advisable to wash your hands after touching the sap, especially if you have sensitive skin. For pet owners looking for similar air-purifying benefits, gardengro offers a range of pet-safe plants like Areca Palms and Spider Plants.

Care steps

  1. Find Bright Spot. Place your Rubber Plant in a location with bright, indirect light, away from direct sunlight that can scorch its leaves.
  2. Water When Dry. Check the topsoil and water only when it feels dry to the touch. Ensure the pot has drainage to prevent waterlogging.
  3. Wipe Leaves Monthly. Gently wipe the large leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and help the plant absorb more light.
  4. Feed Seasonally. Fertilize with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2 months during the growing season to support healthy growth.
  5. Prune for Shape. Trim back leggy growth or prune to encourage a bushier, fuller plant shape. Use clean, sharp scissors.
