For years, a staple houseplant, no home was complete without its large, glossy leaves and hugely ornamental growing habit.
An easy to grow, tropical plant, 'Robusta' gets its name from its sturdy leaves - much bigger than the old-fashioned plants that used to grace conservatories and parlours.

Top Tips
Care Guide
- Grow your rubber plant in a sunny position out of direct sunlight - a bright east facing windowsill is ideal.
- Only water when the top of the compost is dry and allow to dry out between waterings as plants dislike soggy roots.
- A native of India, the rubber plant likes a bit of humidity, so avoid radiators and you can increase humidity by misting the leaves daily or standing in a gravel tray.
- Plants are frost tender so keep indoors at all times and keep temperatures above 12C and avoid draughts.
- Leaves can be cleaned with a wet sponge if necessary, although plants do benefit from a dousing in the rain during the summer.
- Repot in May or June of the roots are pot-bound.
- If your plant gets too tall, you can prune out the growing tip and the tree will develop side branches.
