For no fuss or mess you can place the plant in its growing pot (the pot it arrives in) inside a decorative one. This allows allows excess water to be drained after watering.

For a good fit the opening (not diameter) and height of the new decorative pot need to be several centimetres greater than the current growing pot. Here is how we measure and list pot sizes:

Remember to take into account tapering, as the internal height of a pot will be measured from the centre to the top but the sides will taper in a rounded pot.

We recommend using a liner to protect your decorative pot and prevent leaking (whether placing the nursery pot inside or repotting directly into the decorative pot).

Ficus Elastica 'Robusta'

Thick Stem Rubber Tree

Rubber plants are often seen in bush forms, rarely in such spectacular tree form. Taking many years to train into trees, these specimens really do make and entrance.

These trees are perfect for places with medium light which might not be bright enough for other ficus trees. If leaves receive direct sun in summer they can become scorched.

Thick Stem Rubber Tree

Need to know

This ficus, like most others is happiest situated in indirect bright light. It is happy in most rooms, with a minimum temperature of 12°C. It does not like draughts and this can cause the leaves to discolour.

Allow the top two inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Apply a general purpose houseplant feed like in the summer months. Reduce watering in winter.

The leaves benefit from a damp wipe from time to time to remove dust.
