  • Robin & Black Clay pot likes...

    • Light watering

      Water him whenever the top two inches of soil are dry. He needs a lot less water in winter than in summer.

    • Medium light

      He loves a bright room but he’s not partial to direct sun, so if your room is very sunny, place him away from the window.

    • Humidity

      His leaves can absorb a lot of moisture, so he won’t like living directly under an air conditioning vent or heating unit, which will dry them out.

  • Robin is a Rubber plant, so-named because of the white latex coursing through his veins. Once upon a time he was used to create rubber, but now we enjoy him as a leafy houseplant. This smaller version brings a cheerful pop of greenery to cosier spaces, adding life to desktops, shelves and cabinets in an instant.

    Give him all the care he needs and you’ll be rewarded with a striking plant that will be a focal point in any room. He likes a medium level of light and watering only when the top two inches of soil are dry. He will also appreciate a feed with liquid fertiliser once per month in spring and summer. As he’s a fan of humidity, we’d recommend grouping him with other plants – not only will this make an attractive focal feature, but together they’ll create a mini microclimate that will help their leaves stay looking fresh.

    This bundle includes our classic Clay pot in Black. It’s our bestselling pot, loved for its curved shape, tactile finish and rubber feet to protect your surfaces. Please note, due to the porous nature of the Clay pot material, excess water may escape. To protect your surfaces, we recommend adding an internal saucer for worry-free watering.
