Rubber Plant is a bold evergreen that gets its name from the sticky sap that dries into a low-quality rubber.

It is popular as a house plant because of its large, leathery, glossy leaves that can grow to 8 in (20 cm) long or more — and because it is so easy to grow.

Description

Light: Bright indirect sunlight year-round. Some morning sun is fine, but keep out of hot, direct midday sun. Rubber plant will drop its leaves if it doesn’t get enough light.

Water: Keep soil evenly moist. Use a pot with a drainage hole, water thoroughly, then empty drainage tray. Be careful not to overwater, which will cause root rot. Drooping yellow leaves are a symptom of overwatering.

Humidity: Relative humidity around 40% is ideal.

Temperature: Normal room temperatures 65-75°F/18-24°C. Rubber plant will tolerate a minimum of 50°F/10°C in winter. Protect Ficus elastica from blasts of hot or cold air from heat/AC vents, doors and windows. It doesn’t like sudden temperature swings, which may cause its leaves to fall off.

Soil: Peat moss-based potting mix.

Fertilizer: Feed once a month spring through summer with a balanced water-soluble fertilizer.
