Quick Care Guide

Care Difficulty: Has Moderately easy care needs.

Light: For best results pop in a spot where it will receive bright but indirect light, away from radiators or draughts. Avoid direct sunlight as this can scorch the leaves. Tolerant of lower light levels the Ficus elastica won't mind a slightly shadier spot, however if you find it is leaning to reach the light move to a brighter spot. Variegated varieties will lose variegation if not receiving enough light.

Humidity: Rubber plants prefer temperatures between 16°C - 24°C. Avoid exposing them to extreme temperature fluctuations or cold drafts. Rubber plants also prefer high-humidity environments. Mist around the leaves occasionally or place a tray of pebbles with water beneath the plant to increase humidity levels. Be mindful of drafts and avoid placing your Rubber plant near air-conditioning vents or heaters, as these can cause dryness.

Watering: Rubber plants do not like to be sitting in wet soil, let it dry out half way before watering. Soil should feel dry if you push your finger into the soil. Watering should be reduced further in winter months to avoid root rot. Overwatering is the biggest reason for an unhealthy rubber plant and can cause yellowing leaves and leaf drop.

Toxicity: Toxic to humans and pets

Fertilising: Rubber plants enjoy a feed every 4 weeks during the growing season (spring-summer). As a general rule don't feed in winter or just after a repot. Follow the instructions on the fertiliser packaging for proper application.

Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years -check to see if the roots are coming out the bottom of the pot!

Leaf health: As with all houseplants, the build-up of dust on the foliage can be detrimental, ensure you are wiping the leaves clean with a damp cloth every couple of weeks to remove any debris.
