In the wild the Ficus Elastica can grow up to 40 metres tall, when kept in their ideal conditions at home they can also grow pretty rapidly to fill your space - just make sure that you are fertilising regularly and repotting when the roots outgrow the nursery pot (although, this little baby plant will take a while to reach those kinds of heights!).
This variety of Rubber Plant has dark, thick leaves which contrast against its dark red sheaths as new leaves emerge.
Care:
Light: Bright, indirect light will make this plant thrive. They can grow in a lower, medium lever light, however it will stunt growth and take longer for the plants soil to dry between waterings.
Water: Water once at least the top 2/3 of soil has dried out, do not let it sit in water. Reduce watering drastically in winter months.
Feed: During growing months apply a weak fertiliser once a month.
Humidity: Will tolerate a normal household humidity however for increased growth and bigger leaves an increased humidity will be ideal.
