GENERAL INFORMATION

  • Up to the 1970s, the rubber bush has been one of the most prominent plants in any German household.
  • It also looks as amazing as a pot plant in stairwells or office buildings.
  • The Ficus Elastica is equipped with big, rubbery, dark-green, and shiny leaves.
  • The tropical ornamental tree is a very tough and low-maintenance plant with which you will be quite happy.

SOIL REQUIREMENT

  • The best potting mix for rubber tree plants is well-draining and slightly acidic with a pH ranging from 5.5 to 7.0.

FEEDING/FERTILIZER REQUIREMENT

  • For the young roots, apply a high phosphorus fertilizer to stimulate root development.

LIGHT REQUIREMENT

  • As the Ficus elastica likes to be in soil with a good amount of moisture, avoid placing it somewhere drying, such as near a drafty window or vent, heater, or in direct sunlight.
  • Bright, indirect light is ideal for growing the Rubber Plant, however, they are unusually tolerant of lower light spaces for a ficus.

WATER REQUIREMENT

  • It requires a very humid, moist environment.
  • Spray them regularly especially if the plant is surrounded by heated air.
