Rubber Plant

This member of the Ficus family is closely related to its cousin, the Fiddle Leaf Fig, but Ficus elastica 'Ruby' is known to be less temperamental. This plant is commonly known as a rubber tree or rubber plant, due to the waxy shiny leaves that it bears.  

The plant enjoys bright indirect light or partial direct sun. It is best to allow it to dry out between waterings (1-2 weeks between waterings), like most ficus family members.
