Rubber Fig thrives in bright, indirect sunlight and can also benefit from gentle direct sunlight, particularly in the morning. It can tolerate medium light, but growth may become slower and foliage less vigorous. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh afternoon sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.

Place your plant near a bright window where it receives plenty of indirect light and some gentle morning sun. Rotate the pot periodically to encourage balanced growth and even foliage development.

Rubber Fig varieties offer beautiful foliage variations, from deep burgundy and almost-black leaves to green, cream, and pink variegated patterns. Varieties such as Burgundy, Tineke, and Ruby each bring a distinctive colour palette, with variegated types generally requiring brighter indirect sunlight to maintain their vibrant markings.
