Ficus Elastica, also known as the Rubber Tree or Rubber Plant, is a member of the Ficus genus, originating from eastern regions of South Asia and Southeast Asia. Belonging to the Fig family, Moraceae, it was historically utilized for its latex sap in rubber production before synthetic alternatives became prevalent. Rubber plants are well-suited for indoor cultivation, as they can thrive in low-light conditions and aid in purifying indoor air from pollutants. Sporting a robust, tree-like trunk, they boast dark green leaves with burgundy undertones, which are thicker and possess a natural glossy sheen compared to many other indoor plants.
