The mistletoe rubber plant, known scientifically as Ficus diversifolia, is a plant typically found in tropical regions of Southeast Asia. This species of Ficus is commonly used in traditional medicine and valued for its rubber production. However, there are several synonyms used to describe this plant, including the rubber fig, Java fig, and Indian laurel. Despite its many names, the mistletoe rubber plant is unique in its ability to grow as an epiphyte, meaning it can live off the nutrients and water of other trees. Whether you call it the mistletoe rubber plant or one of its many other synonyms, this versatile species is a fascinating addition to any tropical garden.
