Native to the rainforests of India and South America, Ficus elastica (rubber plant) gracefully grows from its matte black ceramic pot for a modern organic aesthetic. Its thick, glossy leaves range from a rich burgundy-red to almost black. A great air purifier, ficus elastica is perfect for adding a bit of greenery to areas of the home with indirect light. It does not like change, though, so pick a spot and let it be.
