Common Name: Rubber Tree, Rubber Fig, Rubber Plant, Rubber Bush, Indian Rubber Bush, Indian Rubber Tree

Scientific Name: Ficus elastica

*Please note that while this plant produces a white, latex-like sap, which can be mildly toxic if ingested (though animals rarely ingest it or eat the leaves), it is not be confused with the Pará rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis), which is the plant responsible for most commercial sources of latex used in rubber making. 

-Care Recommendations By The Dude-

Best for These Animals: Small to medium-sized reptiles and amphibians from tropical and temperate climates, especially arboreal (tree-dwelling) species.  Young ficus leaves can sometimes break if larger animals try to climb them. However, they are excellent for creating miniature tree canopies in your enclosure.

Bio Dude Substrates: TerraFlora, TerraFauna, TerraFirma

Soil Depth: All soil depths okay.

Lighting: Bright indirect light.  Placement directly under a basking or heat lamp may cause leaves to burn.

Humidity & Misting: 40%-100% suggested for optimal growth, but can tolerate 20%-40% under certain circumstances.

Mature Plant Size & Root System:  Ficus trees are very hardy, durable tropical shrubs that can get very large if not pruned to maintain desired shape and size. With age they can form aerial roots and can develop a woody trunk.  They have a wide, shallow fibrous root system, but can also form thick roots for anchorage.

Temperature Tolerance & Placement in the Terrarium: Too high temperatures/low humidity may cause leaves to brown.  Best used as a back/wall planting (tall), or as a corner placement.

Edible & Side Effects if Ingested: Ficus are members of the family Moraceae, which all contain a milky sap. The sap can sometimes leak from out from the stem when a leaf has been removed or snapped off.  Contact with this milky sap may cause skin irritation, and the sap can be toxic if consumed, though many animals are known to be able to ingest ficus leaves themselves with no ill effects.

Pot Size & Packaging: A single 4" potted ficus plant is shipped in the pot, wrapped in paper.

Good quality, very adorable solution.
Color: Black, Size: 1 Large Panel
Easy to put together and take apart. Wish it had a storage bag of some sort—that would be very helpful. Used it for our mom while she was on hospice at home. The wheels made it very easy to move around as necessary. Nice and tall and wide for privacy. Highly recommend.

Nice, large room divider for privacy
Color: Black, Size: 1 Large Panel
Easy to assemble. Fabric screen covers the large frame very well and provides privacy by separating spaces. I would not exactly call it sturdy, but it does the job and stands freely with no problem. It’s lightweight and portable if you need to move it. Came with a screwdriver and wrench tool for assembly.

Perfect solution
Color: Black, Size: 2 Large Panels, Color: Black, Size: 2 Large Panels
Was a perfect solution to blocking off a part of a room for guest stay. My only wish was a bag for it to go in while not in use. Right now we’ve got it tucked away in a corner where it’s waiting to be used again. I put one wheel through a wooden partition gate (for dogs) and pushed a couch up against it and it held great keeping young kids out of the room. Though the dog figured it out pretty quickly haha I love the fabric in between the sections as well as the fact that they can be completely separate for individual use as needed. Makes it very useful in more scenarios.
