General Care Instructions:
-
Light: Rubber plants prefer bright, filtered light that isn’t too hot. Direct sunlight can result in scorched leaves.
-
Water: These plants require more water during their growing season in the summer. You should keep the soil moist, but not drowning. Do not allow water to gather at the bottom of the pot as this will encourage root rot which the plant is susceptible too.
-
Notes: You can wipe the leaves down with a damp cloth to keep them moist and to help your plant absorb more sunlight. Misting is another option if you don’t want to wipe down every leaf. A rubber plant’s sap can cause skin irritation for some people. Make sure to wash your hands thoroughly after handling your plant, especially if you come in contact with the sap.
