The care of the Elastic Rubber Tree 'Ruby' is very similar to the others, intense to medium lighting, without direct sun, and water when the first centimeters are dry to the touch. It is a classic, the easiest to maintain of all ficus. They like to be pruned, which will allow them to branch out. However, you must be careful of its milky and toxic sap. Under our latitudes, it can reach a height of 3 meters, but in its country of origin, the ficus elastica is a tree 30m high.
