Description

With smooth bark and wonderfully glossy leaves, this beauty deserves a special (large) place in your plant collection.

Care 

Is a rubber tree a good indoor plant?

The rubber tree needs more space than many houseplants, but we believe it's absolutely worth it for the joy it brings! If you have the ceiling height, this beautiful specimen will become the heart of your room.

Are rubber trees hard to keep alive? 

Your rubber tree will thrive with consistent, loving attention to its basic needs. But it only needs regular care with steady temperatures, watering, and bright light. We promise it's not overwhelming! With our guidance, it will flourish.

This Amazonian beauty rewards dedicated care with years of green happiness, becoming a cherished part of your home and daily routine.

How often should I water a rubber plant? 

We recommend watering your rubber tree when the top 2-3 inches (5-8 cm) of soil feel dry. Think of recreating that perfect rainforest environment - consistently moist but never waterlogged. Check regularly whether it has just the right amount of moisture.

Where should I place a rubber tree in my house? 

Your rubber tree is happiest near an east- or south-facing window with bright, indirect light. We suggest avoiding direct afternoon sun, which can stress the leaves. Finding the perfect spot for your new giant friend is part of the joy! 

Can rubber tree plants live in bathrooms? 

Bathrooms can be wonderful homes for rubber trees! If your bathroom has bright light and enough space for growth, your plant will love the almost-tropical humidity. Make sure there’s proper ventilation, and you’re good to go!

What fertilizer should I use for a rubber tree? 

We recommend feeding your rubber tree with a balanced liquid fertilizer monthly during spring and summer. Think of it as providing loving nutrition for steady, healthy growth. Regular feeding helps your gentle giant plant stay strong and vibrant!

What does rubber tree plant care involve? 

Caring for your rubber tree involves providing bright indirect light, consistent moisture, regular feeding, and occasional leaf cleaning. We see plant care as being a beautiful relationship - the more attention you give, the more your plant flourishes!

Does a rubber tree need sunlight? 

Your rubber tree needs bright, indirect sunlight for at least 6 hours daily to stay healthy and happy. We always recommend filtered light similar to its rainforest home - gentle but consistent throughout the day. Direct afternoon sun can damage leaves.

Pet-friendly?

We care deeply about all family members, including pets. Unfortunately, the rubber tree isn't pet-friendly due to its latex sap containing ficin and other compounds. 

Are rubber tree plants toxic to dogs? 

Rubber trees are toxic to dogs, as their latex sap contains ficin compounds that can cause gastrointestinal upset and oral irritation. If your dog has ingested any part of your rubber tree plant, please contact your veterinarian immediately.

We're here to help you choose pet-safe alternatives if needed, ensuring both your plants and pets can coexist safely.

How toxic is a rubber plant to cats? 

The rubber tree is toxic to cats, potentially causing oral irritation, drooling, and digestive issues. If your cat has chewed on your rubber tree, please seek veterinary care right away. We understand how important pet safety is.

We can recommend beautiful cat-friendly plants that provide a similar impact while keeping your feline friends completely safe.


Factoids

What is the difference between a rubber plant and a rubber tree? 

The rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is the authentic latex-producing species that grows impressively large, while the rubber plant (Ficus elastica) is its smaller ornamental cousin. We're proud to offer you the genuine rubber tree with Amazonian heritage!

Do rubber trees make rubber? 

Your rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is the very species that produces commercial latex for countless products. So you're nurturing a piece of industrial history in your home - a plant that’s shaped the world (and looks great while doing it)!

Does a rubber tree purify air? 

Your rubber tree contributes to air purification through its large leaves, creating oxygen and improving humidity levels. While not the most efficient air purifier, it brings a piece of the Amazon's natural air-cleaning power into your space.

What is the lifespan of a rubber tree? 

With proper care, your indoor rubber tree can live for a truly long time, even several decades! Wild specimens can reach 100 years. We're honored to help you start this long-term relationship with a truly special gentle giant.

Do they still use rubber trees to make rubber? 

Hevea brasiliensis remains the world's primary natural rubber source, with plantations across Southeast Asia producing latex for tires, medical supplies, and so much more. It’s amazing that your houseplant shares DNA with the trees that keep the world moving.

What is the spiritual meaning of a rubber tree? 

The rubber tree symbolizes resilience, adaptability, and abundance - qualities we admire deeply. Indigenous Amazonian peoples considered it sacred because it represented the forest's generosity, while modern interpretations connect it to flexibility in life's challenges and personal growth.

Is the rubber tree fruit edible? 

The rubber tree fruit isn't edible - really they're seed capsules that explode when ripe, naturally dispersing seeds. Your indoor rubber tree rarely fruits, rather focusing its energy on producing those beautiful leaves we all love so much.

Mr. Hancock Intrigues Once Again!
Format: Paperback
Mr. Hancock is a fabulous writer/author that I have had the pleasure of reading for many years now! Be it his non-fiction books or like this book, historical-based fiction, he always leaves you thinking and contemplating life and where we come from and how we fit in on this planet and in the this universe! This book had me right from the very first paragraph, I knew it wouldn't take me long to finish it, which it didn't...of course, leaving me hungry for the next book in this trilogy! I have always been intrigued and fascinated with the paranormal and was pleasantly surprised to find it fitting in perfectly and so naturally in this tale. What I would like to thank Mr. Hancock for is his ability to describe scenes, people, actions, interactions, rituals, etc. in such clear, concise and extreme detail using many rarely-used (anymore in this day and age) adjectives making every page come alive for me! I was so enthralled with his writing in this book that I felt like I was watching a movie...very vivid! I almost felt as if I was in that world and that time while reading this fabulous book! I was relating part of the book to my husband one day and actually started out a sentence by saying to him..."she told me", my gosh...I caught myself in mid-sentence...what was I saying?!?! That's how captivating this book and the story was to me...I WAS there! Thank you once again Mr. Hancock for all you do and all your studies...you are always thought-provoking in all you bring to us...your readers, listeners and followers! Your work and travels are much appreciated and certainly needed for the awakening of mankind...please don't quit sharing with us anytime soon!

Gripping & Enthralling
Format: Kindle
Get this book, and jump on the thrill ride. Savage war dogs in full plate armor, human sacrifice on an industrial scale, cannons firing grapeshot point blank into charging hordes of unsuspecting warriors, intense duels within the Spanish and Native groups... this book is graphic and hard to put down. Just be aware that as pt. 1 of a trilogy, it WILL leave you hanging, and wanting more. I suppose that is just the nature of the beast... and we must patiently await pt. 2. Far more historical than a fantasy, but more fantastic than a history... this novel falls almost perfectly into that middle ground, sweet spot. It is extremely well researched, with few liberties taken, so you really feel like you are observing things that could very well have transpired. However, it goes beyond a flat, boring recreation of the extant journals and histories of the conquest of New Spain, and introduces vivid characters, visions, dreams, and witchcraft to bring the tale to life. Historians might appreciate the graphic and accurate depictions of battles and intrigue, and fantasy buffs might dig the subplots involving mushroom visions, metaphysical "gods," and a young witch in Tenochtitlan (being stuff that couldn't be derived from source material and must come from the prolific mind of Mr. Hancock). Some might prefer these things stay separate and "never the twain shall meet," but there are books enough for purists out there. What Graham Hancock has done is present a page-turning story which fully draws the reader into a world which is a fairly good estimation of that world that existed when Cortez & his worldview met the Mexica & the Maya... and supplanted theirs. Given that most everyone on Earth already knows this story--and how it ends--it was IMHO a very wise decision for the author to add drama and tension by fleshing this out into a "fictional" novel. I would say the breakdown is 1/3rd non-fiction, 1/3rd logical extrapolations from what we know, and 1/3rd pure fantasy. I honestly can't say which part I prefer. Just do yourself a favor and read this.

Very impressive
Format: Paperback
I approached this one with caution and came away impressed, glad to have read it, and looking forward to the sequel. It's a fascinating and occasionally breathtaking novel. Hancock has a knack for writing compelling fiction. It's funny: often when people write reviews of his non-fiction books they'll say they read like good thrillers. This one is compelling as fiction but also had enough historical detail to keep me interested beyond the plot and to make me think about the Spanish conquest of Mexico in a different light. I was very grateful for the endnote by Hancock giving an overview of the types of "fictional" elements he introduced into the book (such as combining a couple of historical events into a single event in order to keep the appropriate pace for a novel) because this clarified things and allowed me to come away from the book with a deeper overall understanding of that period in history--which Hancock really does bring alive. Granted, this is Hancock's take on it--even non-fiction historical books have an author's "take" on events--but it seems to be a very well-informed take. Mixed in are supernatural elements and hints of the non-orthodox elements of history that Hancock is known for investigating in his non-fiction. For me, the blend was good. It's not a perfect novel. For example, the style of switching perspective from character to character from short chapter to short chapter was a bit jarring at first; I found it unnecessary and it ended up taking me out of the narrative for a few short moments. (Perhaps this was done to "hit the ground running" and introduce the large cast of characters and plot threads quickly; still, for me it was too much at first.) However, this stylistic approach shifts as the book goes on; the sequences become longer and occasionally blend together. Ultimately this worked, especially given the large cast and numerous plots the book juggles. If it hadn't worked, I would've put the book down; as it was, I did end up turning pages (on my Kindle) rather quickly and not getting bored. There is an immense amount of blood and gore. Very graphic. I won't pass judgment on it. It did give a pretty visceral impression of the whole human sacrifice element of the Mexica and other peoples, and of what battle was probably like at the time. Character-wise the book is diverse and interesting. There are a few semi-saccharine moments and lightly-drawn characters, but in general all are developed to help drive the story forward and to offer possible insights into their historical counterparts. Ultimately I guess we could call this a "sprawling epic," one that wraps up the first part of its story at the end but leaves a huge section to be developed in the next installment. I hope we don't have to wait too long. As I said at the beginning of this review, I didn't really know what to expect from this book but it really was quite fluid, exciting, surprising, and enlightening. Very impressive.

Graham Hancock has woven a compelling tale of historical fiction that does not feel like history or fiction
Format: Kindle
This has been a relentless and compelling read from page one and comes from one of the most innovative thinkers of our time. Graham Hancock has woven a compelling tale of historical fiction that does not feel like history or fiction. Its characters are real and relatable for their humanity, their virtues, their vices, and their corruption. I especially enjoy his characterization of Montezuma and Cortes, two iconic characters from the pages of history who become living, breathing, understandable humans for the readers. The supernatural elements of the story are undeniably present, but they are handled in a way that blends into the tapestry of the story rather than as silly plot devices. Also, those same supernatural elements help throw into sharper relief the unimaginable brutality and horror of which both of these great civilizations on a collision course were capable. The violence is brutal and horrific, no doubt, but for me the gentleness and humanity of the author in describing it softens its impact. Also, even though the book ventures into some very dark, cruel times in human history, the goodness and humanity of many of the characters prevents the story from becoming a tale of despair or hopelessness. I am a fan of Graham Hancock's non-fiction work, and this book firmly cements him as a fiction author I will be revisiting. Superb!

Cortes sails out of Cuba with a few hundred men under bad circumstances. He brings a priest along who rapes ...
Format: Paperback
Graham Hancock's War God is a novel about Cortes, the Spanish conquistador, taking over Central America in the 16th century. Although fiction, the author tells most of the story through the eyes of the Mexicas, Aztecs, Mayans, and Tlascans in the 1520s. The book begins with Montezuma tripping out on mushrooms, praying to the god Hummingbird, and sacrificing thousands of people on his pyramid. He is preparing for the return of Quetzalcoatl and wants to be ready. Two of the main characters, Malinal and Tozi, escape to influence history. Cortes sails out of Cuba with a few hundred men under bad circumstances. He brings a priest along who rapes and murders children. Other generals and captains help him first take over Ponchantan by using cannons and guns which the Mayans believe are supernatural powers. They defeat tens of thousands of people with advanced weaponry. Disappointed the city doesn't have much gold, they loot nearby towns and come up with almost nothing. They find their way to Tenochtitlan and take over instantly. Montezuma believes Cortes is Quetzalcoatl, the plumed serpent god, and doesn't even put up a fight. My Review: I bought this book because I like Graham Hancock's work on aliens and Ancient Aliens. I thought the story would have more of a supernatural twist. Tozi, one of the supporting characters, could turn invisible, but that was the extent of magic. The book fits in better with historical fiction. The story was an amazing epic. Hancock researched every angle possible, and put it into a highly entertaining story while teaching the reader about Central American history. I really loved the character of Malinal, a young woman forced into being a sex slave. Tozi the teenage witch was also interesting as she escaped from the sacrifice of Montezuma. Cortes was portrayed as a thoughtful leader who sought new lands and gold. I really enjoyed the book, but I do have one criticism. Hancock can get very wordy per my reading tastes, especially in battle scenes. Otherwise, this was a terrific read for anyone who loves history. 4.5/5 Stars http://dinaraeswritestuff.blogspot.com/
