About the Ficus Elastica Robusta

Ficus elastica ‘Robusta’ brings quiet power to real homes. Born under humid canopies in South and Southeast Asia, he stands tall, glossy, and unbothered—broad, oval leaves catching the light like lacquer.

Rocco is the definition of easy impact: bright, indirect light; a deep weekly drink once the top layer dries; a quick wipe to keep that shine. Compact, upright, and steady, he slots into living rooms and workspaces without stealing floor space. Rotate monthly for even growth and keep him out of harsh afternoon sun. Avoid drafts, too. We send him out snug in a sturdy, plant-safe box, sleeves and anchors holding everything in place so he lands fresh, healthy, and ready to settle. Big presence, low drama—exactly the vibe.

Did you know?

In Meghalaya, India, people train the aerial roots of Ficus elastica into living bridges that last generations. Guide his own roots to a stake or back into the pot and he’ll plant himself with confidence—nature’s engineering at home.

Why the living room?

This plant is perfect for the living room because it brings instant drama and tropical charm with minimal effort. His bold upright leaves make a striking statement, while gently freshening the air you breathe. Though he’s not safe for curious pets or children, he’s ideal for stylish, adult-friendly spaces. Low-maintenance, air-cleansing and full of presence—Rocco was made for this room.

Position: Floor

Place Rocco as a statement Floor plant near a bright, indirect window with gentle morning sun and filtered afternoons. Give him room to stretch upward and a little space from walls. Keep him away from drafts, radiators, and blasting AC. A living room corner works best; rotate monthly for even growth. Not pet friendly, so style him in adult spaces, styled safely.

Growth Habit: Upright

Straight, strong stems that reach toward the ceiling.

Soil: Well-Draining

Rocco thrives in a well-draining, breathable mix that keeps roots airy and confident. Choose premium potting soil boosted with chunky perlite and a handful of orchid bark, plus a touch of coco coir for gentle moisture. Avoid heavy, peat-laden blends that cling. Aim for damp, never dense; let water flow through and reset between drinks to keep growth bold all year round.

Propagation: Stem Cuttings

Propagate Ficus elastica ‘Robusta’ by STEM CUTTINGS. Take a 10–15 cm cutting below a node, remove lower leaves, and let sap stop bleeding. Root in water or an airy mix (potting soil, perlite, coco coir); optional rooting hormone helps. Keep warm, bright, and humid, avoiding direct sun. Air-layer thicker stems for higher success. Plant once roots are 3–5 cm long and firm.

Bright, Indirect

Rocco thrives in bright, indirect light—morning sun is fine, harsh afternoon rays are not. A sheer-curtained window or light shade suits him best. Rotate for balanced growth and keep him back from glass.

Moderate

Give Rocco moderate watering: let the top 5 cm dry, then water deeply and drain. Weekly in spring and summer, less in winter. Use room-temperature water, avoid soggy roots, and empty saucers promptly.

Novice

He’s low-maintenance and high-impact—effortless to enjoy. Give him bright, indirect light, deep but infrequent watering, and room to stretch, and he’ll reward you with sculptural, glossy leaves. Impact and style—without stress.

Low

Rocco prefers low to medium humidity—comfortable, steady air without heavy misting. Keep him away from heaters and AC. Optional weekly summer spritz is fine. Grouping or a pebble tray helps in drier rooms.
