Rubber trees, Ficus elastica, also known as rubber plants, make wonderful indoor plants. But when it comes to choosing indoor plants for your home, it's important to make sure they fit with your lifestyle.
And not just in regards to their maintenance requirements. Certain indoor plants can be toxic when ingested, which is fine if you are living in a pet-free home, with adults and grown up children. But if you have a cat or dog, or young children running around, there are certain safety considerations that have to be made with indoor garden ideas. Some plants can be toxic when ingested and others can cause irritation to the skin when handled.
