Commonly known as Rubber Plant, Ficus Elastica is part of the fig genus and is native to North Eastern India. It has deep burgundy and green foliage with a waxy coat. In ideal growing conditions this plant can double its size in a year! Mildly poisonous to pets and humans, the milky sap can cause skin irritation.
Care:
Prefers bright indirect light, but will tolerate a variety of lighting conditions. Sensitive to over-watering so make sure to water after the top few inches of soil are dry. The large leaves tend to collect dust, clean your leaves with a damp cloth to make sure nothing gets in the way of photosynthesis!
