Large Rubber Tree StdIs this "Rubber" the actual "rubber"? Well, kind of. Not at an industrial level, but the Rubber tree got its name because it's sometimes used to make rubber how cool is that!! Rubber trees are one of the most popular houseplants due to their surprisingly easy care characteristics and their burgundy leaves! I love how the red vines go through the foliage. This plant is perfect for anyone looking for an unusual plant that's also easy to care for.
