Description

The Ficus Elastica ‘Robusta’, also known as the rubber plant, is a true classic among houseplants. With its large, dark green, leathery leaves, it exudes strength and elegance. Originally from Southeast Asia, it was once valued for its latex-like sap used in rubber production. Today, it’s especially loved for its bold appearance and air-purifying qualities.

What makes the Robusta stand out is its minimalist yet commanding form. It grows compact and upright, making it perfect for modern interiors and clean styling. Its deep leaf color creates a calming focal point in any space and pairs beautifully with light walls or natural materials like wood and stone. Whether you're building an urban jungle or styling a serene corner — Robusta adapts effortlessly.

In addition, this plant is a true green powerhouse: it filters harmful substances from the air and contributes to a healthier indoor climate. And all that without demanding much. It’s not only beautiful but also practical — an ideal choice for both beginner and seasoned plant lovers.

Care tips

Robusta is an easy-going companion, as long as it gets plenty of indirect light. Place it somewhere with at least five hours of daylight per day, but avoid direct sunlight — that can scorch its leaves. A spot two to three meters from a south-facing window is ideal. It loves stability, so avoid moving it around too often.

As for watering: less is more. Give small amounts of water once the top layer of soil feels dry. In summer, that’s usually once or twice a week; in winter, once a week is enough. Make sure excess water can drain properly, as soggy roots can lead to root rot. A pot with drainage holes and a layer of clay pebbles at the bottom is a smart choice.

During the growing season (spring and summer), treat it to a monthly dose of houseplant fertilizer. In autumn and winter, it can rest and doesn’t need extra feeding. Keep humidity levels up by misting occasionally or placing a bowl of water nearby — especially in heated rooms. That way, its leaves stay glossy and healthy.
