The rubber plant (Ficus elastica) is a popular ornamental plant. In it's natural habitat it grows over 30 metres tall, however, the varieties grown inside are a much more manageable height. An excellent choice for a specimen pot plant with attractive foliage.'Schrijveriana' has foliage that is light green and mottled with darker green flecks. This plant does well indoors. It prefers bright, indirect light.
