The Ficus Elastica, or rubber tree, is known for its thick, glossy leaves and latex sap that was once used in rubber production! This same sap makes the Ficus elastica toxic, so the best practice is to keep it out of the reach of curious pets and small children. Give your Rubber tree plenty of bright indirect light to help it retain its dramatic foliage.
