The Rubber Plant (botanical name: Ficus elastica) is a tropical evergreen from Southeast Asia, known for its large, glossy, deep green leaves. Despite the name, it doesn't produce rubber anymore—but it does deliver style, air-purifying qualities, and a strong visual impact. It’s a member of the fig family, and it thrives indoors, especially in Dubai’s climate.
