Botanical Name: Ficus elastica
Common Name: Rubber Plant
Light: Bright, diffused light. They can tolerate soft morning sunlight but should be moved out of the line of harsh direct rays in the afternoon as they can singe the leaves.
Water: Water your rubber plant frequently—they like to be kept steadily moist but not soaked. Rubber plants also are vulnerable to excessive dryness and don't tolerate drought well.
Care: Lots of light, moist (but not soggy) soil, and enough fertilizer to keep it healthy.
Habit: Boasts oversized, oval-shaped, waxy-looking leaves in pink-coral, green hues.
