Ficus decora ‘Marble,’ a variegated Rubber Plant, is a striking indoor tree with thick, glossy leaves marbled in shades of green, cream, and soft yellow. Its bold foliage and upright form make it an instant focal point in any room.
This plant thrives in bright, indirect light, which helps maintain strong variegation. In lower light, new growth may become more solid green. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the lighter leaf areas.
Rubber Plants prefer a consistent but moderate watering routine. Allow the top portion of soil to dry before watering thoroughly. Overwatering can lead to leaf drop, so drainage is essential.
‘Marble’ grows into a beautiful statement plant over time, adding height, structure, and a clean modern look. Its thick leaves also make it a favorite for plant owners who enjoy bold, easy-care greenery.
