Green Rubber Plant

Commonly grown as a houseplant in most areas of the United States, baby rubber plant thrives outdoors in USDA hardiness zones 10 and 11. Gardeners value this small, compact plant for its thick, waxy foliage, ornamental flowers and ease of care. In warm climates, the plant serves as an outdoor ground cover, although it rarely reaches over 12 inches in height.
