Ficus elastica variegata, commonly known as the Variegated Rubber Plant, is a striking indoor plant valued for its bold, glossy leaves with cream, green, and occasionally pink variegation. Its broad, leathery foliage creates a dramatic visual impact, making it an excellent statement piece in homes, offices, or commercial interiors.  

This cultivar thrives in bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant variegation, though it can adapt to moderate light conditions. It prefers well-draining soil and should be watered when the top inch of soil feels dry. Overwatering should be avoided, as Ficus elastica variegata is susceptible to root rot. Allowing the soil to partially dry between waterings promotes healthy growth.  

With its upright growth habit and attractive foliage, this low-maintenance plant is ideal for adding height and color to indoor spaces. Regular cleaning of its leaves will enhance their natural sheen and improve photosynthesis. As with other Ficus species, it’s important to avoid sudden temperature changes or drafts. For best results, occasional pruning can help maintain its shape and encourage fuller growth.
