Native to southern China, Southeast Asia, and Indonesia, Ficus elastica is a species of evergreen tropical tree that makes for an excellent houseplant: It is tolerant of indoor light conditions, and NASA has even recommended its air-purifying properties. What’s more, the plant boasts an unusual history. Along with Hevea brasiliensis, it has been used for its latex sap to make rubber—hence its nicknames, rubber fig, and rubber tree; in tropical Northeastern India, Ficus elastica roots are even used to make incredible “living bridges”!
