Rubber Plant

Also known as 'Ficus Elastica', the rubber plant is the houseplant for you if you want a tough plant which can reach staggering heights within a few years. While its size can still be tamed some what, you have to keep in mind it will eventually require a larger space. Rubber plants love water when they are growing, but not too frequently. Water them really well once the soil has dried out quite a bit, then wait until it dries out again.
