Air Purifying Plants | Rubber Plant

NASA studies prove plants remove toxins from closed spaces such as office environments. These studies proved that certain plants can actually refresh the air and neutralize the effects of poor air quality.

Rubber plant

Botanical Name: Ficus elastica

Rubber Plant is a bold evergreen that gets its name from the sticky sap that dries into a low-quality rubber.

It is popular as a house plant, however, because of its large, leathery, glossy leaves that can grow to 8 in (20 cm) long or more -- and because it is so easy to grow.
