Rubber Plant Care:
Bright, indirect light is ideal.
Tolerates lower light but growth will slow and leaves may become smaller and duller.
Avoid direct hot midday sun—can scorch leaves.
Watering
Water thoroughly, then allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry before watering again.
Frequency: generally every 1–2 weeks depending on season
Humidity & Temperature
Prefers moderate to high humidity (40–60%). Benefit from occasional misting, a pebble tray, or a humidifier in dry homes.
Ideal temperature: 60–85°F (15–29°C). Avoid temperatures below 55°F (13°C) and drafts from doors or AC vents.
Fertilizer
Feed monthly during the active growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble houseplant fertilizer at half to full strength.
Do not fertilize heavily in fall and winter.
Pruning & Training
Prune to control height, encourage branching, and remove damaged leaves. Make clean cuts just above leaf nodes.
