One of the most popular rubber plants, this specimen features broad and thick burgundy leaves, almost black - with green undersides. Keep in bright light to continue the majestic growth habit of this beautiful plant.
Commonly referred to as the rubber plant not just for the (toxic) latex emitted when a leaf or branch is broken, but for the dark glistening leaves that remind you of a bouncy car tire!
