The Ficus genus is part of the Moraceae family and most plants are native to Asia and the Mediterranean. There are over 800 different species in the Ficus genus which grow as shrubs, trees and vines.
Often referred to as 'Fig Trees' some of the plants in this genus get their common name from the fig-like fruits they grow in their natural habitat. The Ficus elastica gets its nickname "Rubber Plant" from the latex sap which was, in the past, used to make rubber.

Light
Prefers indirect bright light and will tolerate direct sunlight in the morning or evening. Ficus like to be warm, so keep away from cold draughts.
Water
Water thoroughly, then allow the top half of the compost to dry before rewatering. Over-watering will cause root rot.
