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.
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.
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.

The Rubber Plant, or Ficus Elastica, is an evergreen tree native to South and Southeast Asia. It's named for the latex sap it produces, which was historically used to make rubber. This plant is celebrated for its large, glossy, dark green leaves that can grow up to 12 inches long, creating a dramatic and lush appearance. In its natural habitat, it can grow into a towering tree, but as a houseplant, it maintains a manageable size while still making a bold statement. The Rubber Plant is a slow grower, which means it won't outgrow its space too quickly, making it ideal for indoor settings. Its thick, waxy leaves are not just beautiful but also effective at purifying the air by absorbing toxins and releasing oxygen. This combination of aesthetic appeal and practical benefits has made the Rubber Plant a favorite among indoor plant enthusiasts in India and around the world.
Rubber Plants thrive in bright, indirect light. They can tolerate some lower light conditions, but their growth may slow down, and their leaves may lose some of their vibrant gloss. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight, as this can scorch the leaves and cause brown patches. The ideal spot for a Rubber Plant is near an east-facing window or a few feet away from a west or south-facing window, where it receives filtered light. In Indian homes, a spot in the living room or a well-lit hallway works well. The plant can adapt to average home temperatures but prefers a stable environment away from cold drafts or heating vents. If you notice the leaves dropping, it's often a sign of sudden temperature changes or improper watering. Rotate the plant occasionally to ensure even growth and prevent it from leaning toward the light source.
Watering a Rubber Plant is straightforward but requires attention to avoid overwatering, which is the most common cause of issues. Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out completely before watering. This typically means watering every 7-10 days, depending on the season and your home's humidity. When you do water, do it thoroughly until water runs out of the drainage holes, then let the excess water drain away. Rubber Plants are somewhat drought-tolerant, so it's better to underwater than overwater. Reduce watering frequency during the cooler months. The plant appreciates average household humidity but can tolerate drier conditions. If the air in your home is very dry, especially during summer or in air-conditioned spaces, occasional misting can help, but it's not strictly necessary. Wipe the leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep them glossy.
The Rubber Plant is toxic to pets if ingested. The sap contains latex, which can cause irritation to the mouth, tongue, and lips, leading to drooling, vomiting, or difficulty swallowing in cats and dogs. While it's not highly toxic, it's best to keep the plant out of reach of curious pets and children. If you have pets that like to chew on plants, consider placing the Rubber Plant on a high shelf or in a room where your pets don't have access. If you suspect your pet has ingested part of the plant, contact your veterinarian immediately. Despite this concern, many pet owners still choose to grow Rubber Plants, taking simple precautions to ensure their pets' safety. The plant's air-purifying benefits and aesthetic appeal often outweigh the risks for those who are mindful of placement.
