Ficus Elastica Ruby AKA Rubber Tree

Rubber Trees typically grow in regions of Nepal, Northeastern India, China, and Malaysia. Contrary to what the name suggests, Rubber Trees are 100% real, live plants. They are given their name because natural rubber can be made from their sap! Rubber Trees can tolerate temperatures ranging from 60-95 and humidity ranging from 20%-100%.
