With smooth bark and wonderfully glossy leaves, this beauty deserves a special (large) place in your plant collection.

Care 

Is a rubber tree a good indoor plant?

The rubber tree needs more space than many houseplants, but we believe it's absolutely worth it for the joy it brings! If you have the ceiling height, this beautiful specimen will become the heart of your room.

Are rubber trees hard to keep alive? 

Your rubber tree will thrive with consistent, loving attention to its basic needs. But it only needs regular care with steady temperatures, watering, and bright light. We promise it's not overwhelming! With our guidance, it will flourish.

This Amazonian beauty rewards dedicated care with years of green happiness, becoming a cherished part of your home and daily routine.

How often should I water a rubber plant? 

We recommend watering your rubber tree when the top 2-3 inches (5-8 cm) of soil feel dry. Think of recreating that perfect rainforest environment - consistently moist but never waterlogged. Check regularly whether it has just the right amount of moisture.

Where should I place a rubber tree in my house? 

Your rubber tree is happiest near an east- or south-facing window with bright, indirect light. We suggest avoiding direct afternoon sun, which can stress the leaves. Finding the perfect spot for your new giant friend is part of the joy! 

Can rubber tree plants live in bathrooms? 

Bathrooms can be wonderful homes for rubber trees! If your bathroom has bright light and enough space for growth, your plant will love the almost-tropical humidity. Make sure there’s proper ventilation, and you’re good to go!

What fertilizer should I use for a rubber tree? 

We recommend feeding your rubber tree with a balanced liquid fertilizer monthly during spring and summer. Think of it as providing loving nutrition for steady, healthy growth. Regular feeding helps your gentle giant plant stay strong and vibrant!

What does rubber tree plant care involve? 

Caring for your rubber tree involves providing bright indirect light, consistent moisture, regular feeding, and occasional leaf cleaning. We see plant care as being a beautiful relationship - the more attention you give, the more your plant flourishes!

Does a rubber tree need sunlight? 

Your rubber tree needs bright, indirect sunlight for at least 6 hours daily to stay healthy and happy. We always recommend filtered light similar to its rainforest home - gentle but consistent throughout the day. Direct afternoon sun can damage leaves.

Pet-friendly?

We care deeply about all family members, including pets. Unfortunately, the rubber tree isn't pet-friendly due to its latex sap containing ficin and other compounds. 

Are rubber tree plants toxic to dogs? 

Rubber trees are toxic to dogs, as their latex sap contains ficin compounds that can cause gastrointestinal upset and oral irritation. If your dog has ingested any part of your rubber tree plant, please contact your veterinarian immediately.

We're here to help you choose pet-safe alternatives if needed, ensuring both your plants and pets can coexist safely.

How toxic is a rubber plant to cats? 

The rubber tree is toxic to cats, potentially causing oral irritation, drooling, and digestive issues. If your cat has chewed on your rubber tree, please seek veterinary care right away. We understand how important pet safety is.

We can recommend beautiful cat-friendly plants that provide a similar impact while keeping your feline friends completely safe.


Factoids

What is the difference between a rubber plant and a rubber tree? 

The rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is the authentic latex-producing species that grows impressively large, while the rubber plant (Ficus elastica) is its smaller ornamental cousin. We're proud to offer you the genuine rubber tree with Amazonian heritage!

Do rubber trees make rubber? 

Your rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is the very species that produces commercial latex for countless products. So you're nurturing a piece of industrial history in your home - a plant that’s shaped the world (and looks great while doing it)!

Does a rubber tree purify air? 

Your rubber tree contributes to air purification through its large leaves, creating oxygen and improving humidity levels. While not the most efficient air purifier, it brings a piece of the Amazon's natural air-cleaning power into your space.

What is the lifespan of a rubber tree? 

With proper care, your indoor rubber tree can live for a truly long time, even several decades! Wild specimens can reach 100 years. We're honored to help you start this long-term relationship with a truly special gentle giant.

Do they still use rubber trees to make rubber? 

Hevea brasiliensis remains the world's primary natural rubber source, with plantations across Southeast Asia producing latex for tires, medical supplies, and so much more. It’s amazing that your houseplant shares DNA with the trees that keep the world moving.

What is the spiritual meaning of a rubber tree? 

The rubber tree symbolizes resilience, adaptability, and abundance - qualities we admire deeply. Indigenous Amazonian peoples considered it sacred because it represented the forest's generosity, while modern interpretations connect it to flexibility in life's challenges and personal growth.

Is the rubber tree fruit edible? 

The rubber tree fruit isn't edible - really they're seed capsules that explode when ripe, naturally dispersing seeds. Your indoor rubber tree rarely fruits, rather focusing its energy on producing those beautiful leaves we all love so much.

Brilliant photo prints on Epson media
For convenience, I am writing and updating this review as I work with the Epson ET-8500. At this point, I have unpacked the device, completed the setup process, installed driver on my Windows 11 PC, printed test pages, and, most recently. installed driver on my Windows 11 laptop. The remainder of the review summarizes all additional experience with the printer. My inkjet printer experience is substantial. After a lifetime of various HP inkjets, the ink/printhead hassle finally led me to the Epson WP-4090 in 2014. That printer served well and reliably but in the past couple years its print quality has become more spotty. It's consumed nearly six complete sets of ink cartridges and I was looking at needing another set sometime this year. Finally, the increasing cost of cartridges vs. decreasing quality has led me to retire the old gal. Unpacking the ET-8500: Removing all the external blue tape was easy. The quick start guide is vague on removing the internal tape. I opened the scanner to reveal the interior where much additional blue tape is located. However, I could not re-close the scanner because I was at this stage unwilling to force it -- everything in there is plastic. I finally located a Reddit string of someone with the same dilemma. The answer is basically to apply more force to the right side. This worked. There was still blue tape visible on the output tray, but not accessible with the output tray retracted. Based on a web query, I manually pulled out the output tray (normally a NO NO based on all other documentation). I removed the tape but of course couldn't close the output tray. The control panel is useless at this point because it is focused ONLY on filling the ink reservoirs. After more web queries, I manually closed the output tray, as gently as possible. Hopefully, I have not destroyed the output tray automation mechanism. I also noticed that the blue transport lock lever was already in the unlocked position. So this printer came all the way from Indonesia to me with the print mechanism unlocked. I will only find out if there is any damage when I start printing in a few days. Rating so far: Three stars based solely on the infernal complication of what should have been an no-brainer unpacking procedure, aggravated by the poor Epson documentation and dicey web insights. I expect this rating would improve in the next several days as I fill the ink reservoirs, connect up the first PC, and perform initial printing. Completing the setup: Filling the ink tanks. Next morning I'm fresh and ready to proceed with the ink. This turns out to be just as easy as promised. Not a drop was spilled. Finally (I thought) was the moment to load letter paper. A web query explained that you must pull out the large bottom paper tray by yanking on the opened bottom cover. I never would have guessed, but it did the trick. I printed the single "alignment" page which looked great but the control panel defaults to printing a bunch more test patterns, which I was able to skip. By the way, after all that struggle to load paper into the bottom tray, the test page demanded a sheet fed from the rear input. Driver installation onto Windows 11 PC: I should mention that I connect this printer via Ethernet, so no fooling around with Wi-Fi settings. The Epson support page allows all driver and utility components to be downloaded individually, but recommends downloading the single, small, master installer. When this one is run, it asks what components you want, then downloads and installs those. It then automatically finds the printer on the network, configures the PC to access it, and offers to print a test page. Wouldn't you know it, the paper source is still that darned single sheet feeder on the rear. Finally, time to use Word to print my standard printer quality page consisting of various fonts and images. First attempt again demanded the single sheet feeder on the rear. I cancelled that job in the queue and looked much more closely at the print options dialog (need the printer-specific dialog, not the Word dialog to see this). Paper source was Auto, which one would imagine means use the main paper tray if it's full and the rear tray is empty. Evidently not. I had to change the paper source setting to specify the lower paper tray. Then it worked fine. Oh, I see from a web query just now that you must "register" the size of paper loaded into each tray into the control panel. Then, it claims, "Auto" source will work correctly. I will have to try that tomorrow. Rating so far: In view of the successful operation of the printer, in spite of all the shenanigans from the day before that could have broken something, I have raised my rating to Four Stars. Driver installation on Windows 11 laptop. I mention this because the installation procedure (identical to that for the Windows 11 PC, above) ran just fine (downloading multi-megabytes of driver installation files over the laptop's Wi-Fi connection) but hard-failed at detecting the printer. It claimed that the laptop wasn't connected to a network. The only option was to cancel the install and start over. My theory is that the author of this code assumed that if the printer were Ethernet-connected, then the computer trying to find it must also be Ethernet-connected. Nonsense, I agree, but I plugged the laptop into an Ethernet port, reran the Epson installer, and it detected the printer just fine, no hesitation. Heady from this success, I installed the Epson Smart Panel app onto my iPad. Needless to say, this app seems to assume everything is on Wi-Fi (and maybe even Bluetooth, which it demands access to - why?). Of course, it couldn't find the Epson printer. However, there was an option to enter the printer's IP address, which worked. It raises the question, what happens if, next time through the DHCP initialization process, the printer is assigned a different IP address? Today, I also "registered" the main lower paper tray as containing letter-sized plain white paper, using the printer's control panel. After that, print jobs with paper source set to "Auto" printed correctly. Woo hoo! In spite of apparent lame networking assumptions coded within the Epson installation package and IOS Smart Panel app, my cumulative star rating remains, for now, at four stars. Remainder of review: the following experiences will be updated from time to time. Connecting printer to Apple Mac Mini Tahoe. The Epson ET-8500 support webpage allows selection of Apple Mac Tahoe but the resulting download is for Intel silicon. However, I found that the Mac's Setup Add Printer function finds the printer on the network and installs required driver software with one click. The is typical Apple user-friendly experience vs. multiple technical steps needed on Windows. Printing of high-quality art prints. I printed out two of mine on 8.5"x11" premium glossy photo paper. Output quality "Standard", while it prints much faster, yields coarse-resolution ink dot patterns on the print. Output quality "High" prints much more slowly, but the image is rendered mostly at resolution. However, under a magnifying lamp, periodic white dots are visible, lined up in the direction of paper travel (not print head travel). These flaws will prevent the prints from being used in presentations. On the web, I learned that these dots are called "Pizza Wheel" marks and are caused by the serrated exit guide wheels pulling the paper through. Some mitigations are suggested, which I will experiment with in the days ahead. Solution to the "Pizza Wheel" marks: Those flawed results described above were obtained using on some old HP Premium Glossy Photo Paper that I had laying around. Understanding that Epson would optimize settings for their own media products, and also that fresh media is usually recommended, I got ahold of some letter-sized Epson Ultra Premium Presentation Paper Matte and some 4"x6" Epson Ultra Premium Photo Paper Glossy (these two styles were the ones available for same-day delivery). The art prints on the presentation paper were flawless, though the brilliance range was of course somewhat reduced from the glossy print. Next, I started printing out some 4"x6"s on the ultra premium glossy stuff and the results were flawless and brilliant. I kept printing a number of my favorite images until I forced myself to stop. Some letter-size of the ultra premium glossy paper is coming soon, and printing on that will be the acid test. But I am happy enough now and confident enough to raise my star rating of this Epson ET-8500 printer to Five Stars. Full-size (8.5"x11") photo printing: Using fresh letter-size Epson Ultra Premium Photo Paper Glossy, I printed two of my art photos with a variety of dark or well-saturated color areas. These came out brilliant and perfect. The Epson ET-8500 is a winner,

Unmatched Quality for Images and Photos
This is an 'initial impressions' review after setup and a few weeks use. - Best Use Case: If, like us, your printing needs are 80% creative (artwork, photographs, etc.), 20% light document printing and occasional scanning, then this printer will meet your needs. Even though you won't be buying a new cartridge with a thimbleful of ink every 100 pages, I would not recommend this printer for high-volume workplace printing. It's not built for speed and you'll be filling the paper tray too often to be productive. Likewise, unlike a more office-oriented printer, the ET-8500 does not have a feeder for the scanner. - Unboxing / Setup: While it did take about an hour to set up, the process went much easier than I anticipated based on the reviews I read. We have it connected to our home network via Ethernet and I was able to do all necessary configuration via the printer's touch screen. Aligning the print heads is a rather lengthy process, so be prepared to spend some time on this. Our old printer would semi-self align by scanning the alignment samples once they were printed. With the ED-8500, I had to manually select which alignment settings looked best, which slowed the process considerably. - Hardware Quality: Overall, the printer feels well-built and worth the money. That being said, I do agree with other reviewers who state the paper trays feel a little chintzy and possibly easy to damage if you don't handle them with kid gloves. No problems thus far, however, so I'm simply crossing my fingers with the hoping for the best. On the flip side, I love that the output tray fully retracts into the printer when not in use. Touch screen operation is a veritable godsend compared to the wonky, practically useless LCD on our old printer. In fact, with a thumb drive or (full sized) SD card, you can perform many operations straight from the touchscreen. - Software: While it did install applications I'm not likely to use, Epson's software is much less intrusive, in my opinion, than you-know-who's naggy, resource consuming bloatware. I can't speak to the smartphone application as I have no need for it thus far. I'm also pleased to report that the printer will work without Alexia, which I will never have a need for. No problems with the software and we're able to print from any computer on the network without issue. - Scanning: As I stated above, there's no feed for the scanner, so you'll have to manually change pages if you have a multi-page document to scan. Not a problem for us, though, and my wife loves that she can scan a document straight to her thumb drive without having to bother me while I'm working. Overall quality is more than adequate for all but the most demanding scanning jobs. - Ink: With its foolproof design, filling the six ink tanks couldn't be easier, and after six weeks of use, including approximately 200 pages of image laden documents using the highest quality print level (which would have eaten up two 'XL' cartridges in my old printer), the ink levels in the ET-8500 have barely moved. Furthermore, refilling all six tanks cost only a little more than those two 'XL' cartridges would have. Very happy in this regard. - Print Quality: Even on regular paper at regular print quality, the ET-8500 hands-down smokes anything in its price range. Amp up the print quality and print to photographic paper and the results are absolutely jaw-dropping. Seriously, my brother is a professional large-format printer / sign maker, and the print quality from the ET-8500 rivals his $75,000 4' x 8' flatbed. Rich, vibrant colors pop from the page and are sure to impress even the toughest critic. This, in my opinion, more than makes up for the ET-8500 not being the fastest horse in the race. I will update my review should anything go south, but for now I give the ET-8500 a big thumbs up. For the quality you get, it is well worth the price in my opinion.

Overpriced Garbage
Bought March 2024. Paper jam June 2025, after not even hitting 600 pages printed (we never even refilled the ink tanks!). Since it's out of warranty, Epson wanted us to pay to send it back for service. I thought maybe Best Buy Geek Squad would be cheaper, since they'll service items that weren't purchased through them. I have Best Buy Geek Squad here right now and he found "the worst paper jam he's ever seen" and the paper still won't feed, not from the rear, not from the top, not from the tray, even through he found the jam and cleared it. The jammed paper DID come out with rubber crumbs from the feed wheel. He suspects that the wheel is so worn from us trying to fix it with printing cycles, that the wheel needs to be replaced. The part is $110. Getting Geek Squad out here was $125. For a $700 printer that lasted a year. After working for about an hour, the service guy said it sounded like there was a motor wheel not turning properly on one side as well, which was causing grinding gears, and would be a separate replacement part. He said he hates Epson, that most printers are made to be throw away now (our last Canon photo printer lasted 15 years), and to not spend more than $200-$300 on a Brother printer to replace it, so that's what I'm doing. This was my first experience with Epson and it will definitely be my last.

Excellent print quality, easy-to-use software, very long lasting ink
This review is for an Epson ET-8500 printer/scanner/copier. ET stands for Eco Tank as the printer uses tanks of ink filled by the user from bottles. The tanks last far longer than the ink cartridges we've all been using and the price per page is far less. The 8500 prints 8.5x11 and 8.5x14 as well as smaller sizes like 8x10, 5x7, 4x6 and printable CDs, DVDs and BDs. The scanner has a maximum resolution of 4800 x 1200 dpi. I bought this printer to replace an Epson RX 580 we bought in late 2006 and for which we must have spent several printer's worth of money on ink. Our primary use has been and remains printing photographs. We feel we require a six-ink printer for this task which limited our printer choices. We have never had any brand other than Epson dating back to the dot matrix printers we used with our homemade PC XT so I will be unable to compare the performance of this printer to other brands. We were sorely tempted to buy the ET-8550 vice the 8500 for the occasional need to print 11x14s and larger as it was only an additional $50 but we simply didn't have the table space for it. The price of this printer has come down significantly from when it was first introduced, so if you're thinking you can't afford it, look again. The unpacking and setup on the 8500 were simpler and more trouble-free than other printers I've used in the recent past. The printer can be connected to your computer via a shared wireless or wired network or a primary tier USB link. You can also print from a thumb drive (USB memory stick), your camera's SD chip, wirelessly from a smart phone or tablet. Epson provides the printer with a unique email address and any images sent to that address (from anywhere on the planet) will automatically be printed by your printer. If you have a voice assistant on your home network, you can control your printer with voice commands. All in all, a very capable and well thought out device. We were nervous about filling our ink tanks the first time. The thought of a bottle of printer ink spilling seemed an absolute nightmare. But, as might have been expected, the process was utterly fool-proof (and you're reading a top notch fool here). The tops of the ink bottles and ink tanks are keyed so you cannot put ink in the wrong tank. Ink does not come out of the bottle till it is inverted on the proper tank and flow stops when the tank becomes full. The first filling will also have to fill all the tubing and what not between the tanks and the print nozzles and so will fill the tanks slightly less full than all further bottles. Loading paper is also painless. The printer has two cassettes: one for 8.5 x 11 and one for 5x7 or smaller. The printer can take thicker paper by two routes in the back: the rear paper feeder at the back on top, and the rear paper feed slot, in the rear. Here is my one unpleasantness concerning this printer but fortunately for you and Epson, the unpleasantness was almost entirely my fault. Either route may be used for thicker paper, such a heavyweight photo paper or thick cardstock. The Rear Paper Feeder at the top rear will still take your paper through almost 90 degrees of bend but not the hard 180 that it experiences coming from the cassettes. Paper loaded into the Rear Paper Feed Slot at the printer's rear, will traverse a completely flat path. Theoretically, you could put a sheet of thin glass through there... but please don't. I have used both with 80 lb (thick) photo paper with no problem whatsoever. The unpleasantness I mentioned was caused when I became confused as to which route was which, deciding that the feeder was the slot and the slot was the feeder. This led me to two lengthy calls to Epson tech support where two different techs spent an inordinate amount of time and effort trying to convince me I had made a mistake without insulting a sacred Epson customer by telling me I had made a mistake. When I finally came to my senses, I wrote a long and heartfelt apology to Epson Tech Support for what I had put them through. Very embarrassing. The printers output on plain paper, card stock and three different grades of photo paper has been absolutely perfect. There will always be some difference between your screen and your printer, particularly with the printer straight out of the box and no attempt having been made to match up the two, but the prints have been more than satisfactory to this point. And I have yet to see any of my ink levels - now visible directly through graduated translucent windows on the printer's front - so much as budge. A good portent. I have looked at refill ink bottles and the cost for a full set is slightly more than a set of cartridges for my RX 580 cost but provides several times the quantity of ink. Interestingly, the colors of inks used has changed. My RX 580 used to use Cyan, Light Cyan, Magenta, Light Magenta, Yellow and Black. The ET 8500 uses Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Photo Grey, Photo Black and Black. That last one is used for text and is not used for photographs. The Photo Grey and Photo Black are not used on text. I only have my eyes, but in my judgement, the prints from the ET 8500 are superior to those from the old RX 580 in accuracy, detail and color. Text documents are crisp and clear. Image quality on plain paper is more than acceptable though I understand there are other brands that do it slightly better. If I had to do it all over, I would again buy the ET 8500. Ease-of-use, economy and beautiful output make it the ideal choice. And I will never again buy a printer that uses cartridges. Never.
