We love the ever-popular Rubber Plant or Ficus Elastica (and sometimes called Ficus Robusta) for its simplicity and tropical looks. Picture emerald green, glossy leaves shiny enough for droplets of water to slide off….picture a large, tall houseplant standing proudly in your home, bringing a taste of the lush, wild rainforest to your hallway or your living room….the Rubber Tree Plant has all of this and more.

It’s a classic, it has stood the test of time, remaining very popular over decades, never losing its appeal.  It’s one of our extra-large houseplants.

The Rubber Plant rubber plant ficus Elastica is rewarding to grow and beautiful when mature. As it thrives in areas with full sun to partial shade, it will suit any room in the house, wherever you want to add a dash of the exotic. When growing the Rubber Plant indoors, avoid drafts near large windows or doors.  

It is native to Asia and in the wild can grow up to 60 metres tall with a trunk that can be 2 metres thick! It won’t do this in your home though, its ultimate height will be more like 2 metres in the right conditions.

Our top tip is to train your Ficus tree to be tall and leggy: its unusual shape is beautiful and casts wonderful shadows in summer. The best advice we can give is to neglect your Ficus tree a little - it will grow stronger if you only water it once the top layers of soil are dry: the worst thing you can do is to overwater - as is the case for most of our tropical houseplants.

As ever, if you’re looking to buy indoor plants online then here at Happy Houseplants we provide you not only with beautiful and interesting houseplants but we hope we also inspire you with our style! Soak up some of the rainforests every day in your home by buying wonderful houseplants from us!

As an indoor plant gift, this is perfect and one to impress! We’ll even include a handwritten card with your delivery for free - just add your gift message at the basket stage of checkout.  We won’t leave in any paperwork either!

Please note that as one of our extra-large houseplants, this plant will be hand-delivered to London and the Home Counties. Please see our delivery section for more details.

How to care for a Rubber Plant Tree?

The rubber plant is easy to care for and will cope with a wide variety of conditions but generally good light, and avoid overwatering and it will live a long and beautiful life in your home. 

Where should I put it?

The Rubber Plant likes a bright, sunny spot, lots of light.

What temperature does it like?

Your Rubber Tree plant likes it warm, not cold or draughty.

How much should I water?

Wondering how to water a ficus houseplant? It’s easy. Once a week in summer, about every 2 weeks in winter, always wait until the top 2 inches of soil are dry before watering.

Does it need feeding?

Yes, once a month March-August with a liquid feed. Happy Houseplants sell our own vegan, organic plant food.

Is it suitable if you have pets?

This plant can be toxic to pets.

What size is it?

W27cm x H90cm, W30cm x H125cm or W30cm x H160cm

This is the book I've been waiting for!!!
Format: Hardcover
This book has a ton of great information for fans of the first 6 Final Fantasy games. It includes artwork, sketches, maps, computer renderings, and more! Check out the video flip through of the book that I added. If you are a fan, you won't be disappointed! Note: many characters, monsters, and locations are shown with Japanese language (Katakana or Hiragana most often - sometimes Kanji) with a Romaji translation (such as Kokaturisu for Cockatrice) and a final English translation. Note that much of this book is based off multiple versions of the games - often the PSP / PS1 versions for 1, 2, 4, 5 and DS for 3. Just a note because translations are different for each version. Also some of the sprites shown in character models are from later releases, not original. But it is certainly forgivable since they often show the sprites for multiple versions. I am just pawing through it non-stop. I feel like a kid when I got the first Final Fantasy and literally wore out the map/monster chart that was included!

Great gift for Final Fantasy Enthusiasts
Format: Hardcover
My brother in law has played many of the original Final Fantasy games and has always enjoyed the art style. My husband purchased this book for him as a birthday gift and my brother in law has thoroughly enjoyed flipping through this book. The hardback cover is very sturdy and the entire book is beautiful with interesting character facts throughout.

Even better than expected
Format: Hardcover
This is a really good quality book both in form and content. Its pretty big both in size and thickness, its actually taller than i thought and is very well made with beautiful print. If you are a fan of Final Fantasy or a fan of videogame artwork its a great item to add to your collection. I'd love to get the other two volumes as well.

An interesting read for fans of the classic series.
Format: Hardcover
The Ultimania is a nice collection of background info and original artwork for the series, and this book details the first six entries that appeared on Nintendo systems between 1987 and 1994. For fans of the 8-bit era, you may be a bit disappointed to find their sections a bit light on content, but they do feature gorgeous artwork from Yoshitaka Amano, Akihiko Yoshida, and other artists who worked on the remakes for the Wonderswan and PSP versions. There is also some neat background info like notes and outlines from the titles early development. The real meat of the book comes from the 16-bit era entries which detail some interesting info not usually seen, such as artwork of the characters by the staff, dungeon design details, and a few minor cut content. If you're a serious fan of the franchise and can't read Japanese making the 20th and 25th anniversary Japanese Ultimania books nothing more than an art book for you, then this is a great buy for super fans.

Great book, fast but shoddy shipping
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
The book is exactly what I knew it would be: a translated version of the Ultimania books released for the first six Final Fantasy games. These books are heavy on artwork but also contain many factoids about the games. Don't expect the amount of info that was in the Zelda Encyclopedia or Hyrule Historia books from Dark Horse, but significantly more than what was in the Zelda Art and Artifacts book. Lots of art but also a decent amount of info on the first 6 titles in the Final Fantasy series. More distressing was the shipping method of the book. The book was shipped in a cardboard box, non-form fitting so it shook around a lot. Book was shipped by Amazon Warehouse and condition was listed as Very Good. It may have been Very Good when it left the warehouse, but it took a beating on its way here, as shown by the photos on this review. The book is still quite readable, and the damage is not so severe as the book is falling apart, but it definitely took a few hard hits on its way that would have been not nearly as damaging if it had either been shipped in bubble wrap or at least a form fitting box.
