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.

A Book to Read and Read Again
Format: Hardcover
I finished this book a few days ago and have been obsessing over it in my mind ever since. Hooten Wilson (which is a delightfully fun name) is a brilliant scholar, excellent guide/teacher, and lover of Christ and the written word and all of that shows on every page. This book is a call to look up from our screens and dive deep into the written word, both Scripture and literature. It is equal parts inspiring and practical. The robust and rich writing of the author is still easily accessible. As one who grew up in love with books and reading, I moved to almost exclusively non-fiction in my adult years. This book inspired me to return to the beauty of fiction once again and to see the value of the written word as a way to love God, not just to gather and process information. I will definitely be reading this one again.

Rich Academic Insight
Format: Hardcover
Near the beginning of "Reading for the Love of God," Jessica Hooten Wilson addresses why we should read fiction, responding to arguments in some Christian circles that we should only read the Bible. Other topics that she covers include the difference between using and enjoying books, how reading can help us develop greater virtue, and how we can rightly interpret books through the "trinity" of rightly balancing the text, the author's intent, and our own takeaways, instead of forcing the text to mean whatever we want. She also shares "bookmarks" between chapters about the reading lives of Augustine of Hippo, Julian of Norwich, Frederick Douglass, and Dorothy L. Sayers. These sections are thoughtful and encouraging, and the latter two are my favorite parts of the book. There is a recommended reading list at the end that offers many wonderful selections, but I want to offer one quick warning. She includes the graphic novel adaptation of Octavia Butler's "Kindred" in her list for school-age readers, and although she mentions that it's more for the 10-12 age range, it is an adult book. The main character is an adult, and the graphic novel includes vivid on-page depictions of racial violence, attempted rape scenes, and a lot of talk about rape. Some older kids can handle that, but it would terrify others and was never intended for that age group. Reading and the Bible Hooten Wilson emphasizes that enhancing our reading skills through literature will help us better read, understand, and appreciate the Bible. She makes excellent points about how learning to read different literary genres will help with biblical interpretation, and she makes a convincing case for how practicing our interpretive skills and becoming more fluent with metaphor and other literary devices will enhance our experience with the Bible. However, I felt that she sometimes went too far, making it sound like Bible-reading is an activity for the well-educated and well-practiced. God intended the Bible for everyone regardless of their socioeconomic class, abilities, or educational level, and even though reading the Bible badly can have negative consequences, this book focuses more on our own literary skills than the power of the Holy Spirit to reveal truth to us, convict us, and comfort us through Scripture. Hooten Wilson provides excellent next steps for people who want to deepen their relationship with the Bible, but I wished that she had articulated additional vital context around this. Audience This book is highly academic in content and tone, and even though I enjoyed this book and found it very enriching, it is only for serious readers. Hooten Wilson writes about highly abstract concepts in complex ways, and she often uses specialized vocabulary without explaining what she means. She also makes lots of references to monastic practices and obscure literary works that even highly bookish Christians are unlikely to be familiar with. This book shares rich scholarly perspectives, but it is not for reluctant or casual readers, especially since Hooten Wilson only acknowledges the worth of popular-level books in the special section on Dorothy L. Sayers. It disappoints me that Christian books about reading are almost always written at such a lofty level that they are inaccessible to the people who need them most. I read hundreds of books every year, including dozens of academic ones, but I still felt that parts of the book were beyond me. If someone wants to begin getting more serious about reading, I would recommend Karen Swallow Prior's "On Reading Well" as a more accessible alternative with similar themes. My other concern is that Hooten Wilson was always the expert in the anecdotes she shared, never the person learning something new. Only one anecdote bothered me in and of itself, and that is the chapter-opening illustration about a time when she set up an undergrad student for embarrassment to make a point during class. The other anecdotes don't involve power differentials and were perfectly fine, but taken together, they give the impression that the author needs to feel superior. I am sure this was unintentional, but I wish she had given examples of times that she lost an argument and learned something new. Conclusion Overall, I enjoyed "Reading for the Love of God," appreciating Hooten Wilson's unique insights and her scholarly perspective on the spiritual importance of reading. This book is deep and thoughtful, and there are a lot of important messages about reading great books to expand your mind, enhance your understanding of Scripture, and become closer to God. However, this book is so dense and academic that it is only for scholarly readers. I wish that this book could be an on-ramp for people who want to get more serious about reading, but it will probably just make them feel judged, lectured at, and so overwhelmed that they give up. This book has great value for people who inhabit the author's literary world or are so well-read that they can make the leap, but I hope that the she will consider ways to effectively reach popular audiences in the future.

Inspiration and affirmation of the richness of a reading life
Format: Hardcover
I listened to Hooten Wilson give a talk about the book and immediately pre-ordered it. It did not disappoint. I haven’t binge read a book like I did this one since last year with Abolition of Man. It was a delight to learn more about some extraordinary and diverse readers such as Julian of Norwich, Frederick Douglas, Dorothy Sayers and others. Hooten Wilson does an excellent job make a case for the ways reading both the Word and literature expands our capacity for living rightly and for reflecting God.
