Rubber plant

The Rubber Plant (Ficus elastica) could be the ideal houseplant for you if you want a tough but easy going indoor plant that can reach staggering heights within just a few years.

The shiny glossy leaves look great in most homes and although young plants start off small they will fill the space in an empty corner quickly.

It scores really well with resistance to pests and diseases and has a high transpiration rate which increases the humidity of the room it lives in. In other words it's good for your health as well as low maintenance!
