Trustpilot
The rubber plant is another one of those plants that seem to be made of steel. They are very hard to kill and can tolerate above average amounts of neglect, making them an ideal choice for people with busy lives. Water it when the top of the soil becomes dry and place in a position where it receives bright but indirect light. It can cope with lower light levels.

Rubber plants secrete sap that can be toxic to humans and pets alike, so take care when handling this plant.
