We love the ever-popular Rubber Plant or Ficus Elastica (and sometimes called Ficus Robusta) for its simplicity and tropical looks. Picture emerald green, glossy leaves shiny enough for droplets of water to slide off….picture a large, tall houseplant standing proudly in your home, bringing a taste of the lush, wild rainforest to your hallway or your living room….the Rubber Tree Plant has all of this and more.

It’s a classic, it has stood the test of time, remaining very popular over decades, never losing its appeal.  It’s one of our extra-large houseplants.

The Rubber Plant rubber plant ficus Elastica is rewarding to grow and beautiful when mature. As it thrives in areas with full sun to partial shade, it will suit any room in the house, wherever you want to add a dash of the exotic. When growing the Rubber Plant indoors, avoid drafts near large windows or doors.  

It is native to Asia and in the wild can grow up to 60 metres tall with a trunk that can be 2 metres thick! It won’t do this in your home though, its ultimate height will be more like 2 metres in the right conditions.

Our top tip is to train your Ficus tree to be tall and leggy: its unusual shape is beautiful and casts wonderful shadows in summer. The best advice we can give is to neglect your Ficus tree a little - it will grow stronger if you only water it once the top layers of soil are dry: the worst thing you can do is to overwater - as is the case for most of our tropical houseplants.

As ever, if you’re looking to buy indoor plants online then here at Happy Houseplants we provide you not only with beautiful and interesting houseplants but we hope we also inspire you with our style! Soak up some of the rainforests every day in your home by buying wonderful houseplants from us!

As an indoor plant gift, this is perfect and one to impress! We’ll even include a handwritten card with your delivery for free - just add your gift message at the basket stage of checkout.  We won’t leave in any paperwork either!

Please note that as one of our extra-large houseplants, this plant will be hand-delivered to London and the Home Counties. Please see our delivery section for more details.

Packaged Poorly But Good Product
Scent: Cedar, Size: 7.73 Ounce (Pack of 3), Scent: Cedar, Size: 7.73 Ounce (Pack of 3)
While I like the exfoliating soap bar for its smell, later ability, and exfoliating pieces in the soap I can't give it a full 5 stars due to when I received the package not only was there white powder all over the box but each bar looked like it had been shaved down/dented. I feel perhaps they should work on how to package these or put each bar in a plastic sleeve to unsure there isn't a mess once you open the package. The price for 3 soap bars was pretty good compared to others where is cost this much for two or even one bar.

Overall quality
Scent: Cedar, Size: 7.73 Ounce (Pack of 3)
Great scent, natural ingredients. I'm very happy with this soap. It last a long time good value for the quality and the exfoliateing part is nice in the middle not as harsh as walnut. The soap came in cardboard box with no plastic wrapping if you care about that.

Best Exfoliating Soap I've Found
Scent: Cedar, Size: 7.73 Ounce (Pack of 3)
I've tried a bunch of exfoliating soaps, including Dr. Squatch and Marlowe. Dr. Squatch is SUPER overpriced and the "heavy grit" is a joke. Marlowe is amazing but the exfoliation is either too hard or too soft. This is my soap. I've reordered three times. The exfoliation is perfect. The scent is light and good and doesn't get old. The lather is superb and just the right amount of moisturizing. The bars are large, and if I had one complaint it's that they usually break in half once they get thin enough from the length, but still easily earns 5 stars. I'll be reordering these as long as they exist and the price stays right.

Doesn't last what is advertised

Soap is fine, definitely doesn't last over a month for average daily use.
