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.

Informative studies of how scientists are trying to address environmental issues today
Format: Paperback
In this book Kolbert travels to visit scientists attempting to address the environmental changes that humans are creating on the planet. The chapters focus on different issues, such as invasive species, and species loss, and includes field site visits, and also references for more reading. If you read this, and Sixth Extinction, and Field Notes From a Catastrophe, you will get a great oversight of some of the environmental issues that we face, although not any neat solutions. All the case studies build up into a wider understanding.

disappointing
Format: Hardcover
I was excited to read "Under a White Sky". Unfortunately, it seems that the author just sort of stopped writing when COVID hit. See page 197, where author laments the arrival of COVID. FOur pages later, book ends. The author even says on page 197: "Here I was, trying to finish a book about the world spinning out of control, only to find the world spinning so far out of control that I couldn't finish the book". Couldn't finish the book, but COULD publish it and sell it to people like me. The early chapters are interesting, each one covering a different topic related to man messing with nature. Good stuff. But I expect some analysis, some conclusion, something to sum it all up. It just isn't there. Topic and early chapters showed great promise. But the ending is truly lacking. And as the author alludes, unfinished.

As A Dominant Species, We Dance On The Razor’s Edge
Format: Hardcover
Under A White Sky Elizabeth Kolbert’s claim to fame is her book The Sixth Extinction. In comparison Kolbert’s under A White Sky is rather short and disorganized, yet her coverage of those working on solutions to Climate Change is pretty darn interesting.  In her conclusion, she writes, “This has been a book about people trying to solve problems created by people trying to solve problems.” Putting this sentence at the book’s beginning rather than buried at its end would have provided a reader a compass to help determine where Kolbert was going with her dialogue. As she wades through the reversed direction of the Chicago river; Asian carp; Cane toads; forced and accelerated evolution in regard to coral, in particular in regard to the Great Barrier Reef (without discussing the importance of the worlds reefs; the continual flooding of New Orleans both despite and because of the actions of The Army Corps of engineers, one begins to ponder a general connection that might exist, while the book itself is headed toward a two star rating. Then, Kolbert got to Global Warming and Climate science. The book’s last sixty pages are worth the complete price of admission. The chapter begins with carbon sequestration, the pros and cons of how it can be done, and does it also contribute to the growing problem. The stoppered bathtub” analogy is perhaps the best analogy I’ve heard in regard to the anthropocentric carbon dioxide problem on the Earth. The tub is full of water/ the sky’s CO2 level; the tubs stoppered, so the water isn’t going anywhere, and the atmosphere’s increased CO2 level won’t drop in the near future either; and even if the water flow to the tub is reduced, it will still accumulate until over flowing, as will reduced emissions continue to amass in the atmosphere. In a sense, we are already beyond the tipping point in terms of global temperature increase. Harvard University Center for the Environment director Dan Schrag says, “I’m a scientist. My job is not to tell people the good news. My job is to describe the world as accurately as possible.” He predicts, due to the fact that the oceans must equilibriate. “If we were to stop CO2 emissions tomorrow, which of course isn’t possible, it’s still going to warm for centuries. That’s just basic physics.” Thus enters the topic of geoengineering, and the connection with people trying to solve problems created by people trying to solve problems truly comes into focus. Kolbert , in a rather clandestine way connects the dots of her past “local problems”, but now the problem fix, if it doesn’t work could create problems beyond solving. She hits the nail on the head with this. Humans have been around 35-50 thousand years, but only the last ten thousand or so have they thrived, largely due to agriculture and differentiation of what one can do because of agriculture. But ag has only been able to thrive because of the rather consistent global weather of the past ten thousand years, due to glacial retreat. This has been presented in great detail by Jared Diamond in his book Guns, Germs, and Steel. The CO2 we’ve put into the atmosphere isn’t going anywhere, as we continue to pour more into the mix. Her interviews with climate scientists do not bode well for our species, as everything they think of to combat the CO2 conundrum brings more as the bathtub continues to fill. One could say humans have become victims of their own success as a species. Ultimately, one gets the feeling from Kolbert and her interviews, that the enormous fluctuations in the Earth’s climate over geological time, and those yet to come, render whatever we do as humans as a moot point. The Earth will shake is off as a dog rids itself of fleas. She also brings to the argument, when the blank really hits the fan, as it will despite, or because of any preventative efforts by man, the resulting population displacements will be staggering. A sobering, informative book as we, as a species, dance on the razor’s edge.

fascinating and compellingly written
Format: Hardcover
Elizabeth Kolbert is one of my favorite nonfiction authors. She has such a knack for writing in a clear, compelling way that makes you think and marvel and ask questions you've never considered before. In her previous book, The Sixth Extinction, she catalogs all the ways in which humans have drastically changed the natural world, ushering the new age of the Anthropocene. Under a White Sky is an exploration of the ways scientists around the world are trying to undo those changes. There are people engineering unique solutions to combat a variety of environmental threats: invasive carp in the Chicago River and cane toads in Australia, Louisiana's rapidly disappearing Mississippi River delta, rare species that now depend entirely on human conservation for their continued survival, and, perhaps most pressingly, the problem of rising carbon emissions and global climate change. That there are brilliant minds working innovatively to solve these problems inspires optimism. But these sobering portraits really highlight the extreme human measures it takes to keep at bay the problems caused by humans interfering with nature in the first place. We've already transformed the planet; how much more will it be transformed by these interventions, and in what ways?
