Generous heads of glossy leaves sit atop a delicate thin stem, as if floating in the room.

For no fuss or mess you can put the plant in the growing pot it arrives in straight inside a decorative one. This also 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.

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 on a rounded pot.

Nursery Pot Diameter	Minimum Decorative Pot Opening Required
⌀17cm	18-19cm
⌀20cm	21-22cm
⌀25cm	25-26cm
⌀28cm	29-30cm
⌀33cm	34-35cm

For a seamless finish where the plant is potted into the decorative pot, liners are available to prevent water leaking and the pot from damage.

We also offer a potting service.

Add our potting service (indoor / outdoor) to your order when buying a plant and pot together and our expert team will deliver your plant potted.

Indoor plants will be potted with a liner, in-built water reservoir and gauge and a decorative toping of your choice, giving a professional finish but also making care easier.

Our outdoor potting service includes soil and a decorative topping.

Ficus Elastica 'Robusta'

Thin Stem Rubber Trees

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.

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.

Best space & place

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.

When to water & feed

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.

Need to know
The leaves benefit from a damp wipe from time to time to remove dust, facilitate more light transmission, and keep looking glossy. They can lose leaves when settling in but they are soon replaced.

Pollutant Absorption Credentials
Rubber Plants have been shown to help remove formaldehyde from the air, which can be given off by building materials, synthetic fabrics, and furniture. Just moved into a new-build house? Then this plant is for you!
