The Full Picture
The Rubber Plant is a tough Indian native. It grows into a massive banyan-like tree outdoors! In a pot, it loves bright light. The Burgundy/Ruby varieties need more light to keep their dark color. In Lucknow, you can keep it indoors or on a balcony. It tolerates dry air well but hates being moved around.
