Buy a Ficus: The stylish rubber tree for your home
Are you looking for a loyal, green friend that radiates calm and timeless elegance? Then welcome to the wonderful world of Ficus! Especially the rubber tree (Ficus elastica) is a true classic that is currently making a big comeback. It is more than just a plant – it is an architectural statement that gives any room character and a cozy atmosphere.
A ficus is like a good piece of furniture: it blends in harmoniously, adds accents, and remains a faithful companion for years. If you dream of a real little tree in your home that is easy to care for and shows style, then a ficus is the perfect choice.
A statement of calm and style: the benefits of your ficus
The ficus, and above all the rubber tree, is a favorite for modern living spaces and offices. And for good reasons:
- Architectural beauty: With its large, glossy leaves and upright growth, the ficus brings a clear, calm structure to your decor. It is a living work of art that doesn't need much decoration around it.
- A hardy roommate: The rubber tree is known for its forgiving nature. It is robust, copes with less-than-perfect care and is therefore ideal for plant beginners who dream of their own indoor tree.
- Varied styles: The ficus is no longer just green. Discover fascinating varieties with leaves in deep burgundy red, with delicate pink speckles or elegant cream-white patterns.

How to make your ficus feel completely at home
A ficus is happy when you are – and it doesn't take much. With these simple basic rules you create the perfect foundation:
- Location: Give it a bright spot without direct midday sun. A windowsill where it gets morning or evening sun is ideal. But it is quite adaptable.
- Water: Less is more. Water it again only when the top few centimeters of soil are well dried out. It doesn't like constantly wet feet.
- Wellness tip: Its large leaves can collect dust. Wipe them occasionally with a damp cloth. That not only looks nice but also helps the plant breathe better.
Important note: The white milky sap of the ficus that oozes from wounds on the leaves or stems is slightly poisonous and can cause skin irritation in sensitive people. As a precaution, place it out of reach of nibbling pets and small children.
Who is a ficus the ideal tree for?
- For style-conscious decorators: Do you love clean design and natural materials? The ficus is the perfect green accessory for a modern, Scandinavian, or minimalist decor.

- For the modern office oasis: It is robust, doesn't need constant attention and demonstrably improves the indoor climate – ideal for a relaxed workplace.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Help, my rubber tree is losing leaves! What am I doing wrong?
Don't worry, that is the most common question! Ficus trees react sensitively to changes. A change of location, drafts or a sudden change in watering can lead to leaf drop. Give it time to acclimate and provide consistent conditions. Most of the time it will recover on its own.
Is the ficus (rubber tree) poisonous?
The milky sap is slightly poisonous and can cause stomach problems if swallowed and irritation on skin contact. So it's not the best choice if you have very curious pets that like to nibble on plants. Otherwise it is harmless with normal handling.
How big will a rubber tree get indoors?
It has the potential to grow over the years into a stately tree of over 2 meters. But don't worry: you can easily prune it back in spring to control its size and shape. It will regrow reliably.
Is the rubber tree a good beginner plant?
Yes, absolutely! It is one of the best trees for beginners. It is robust, forgives care mistakes better than many other plants of its size and quickly rewards you with impressive growth.
