Chroma™ Ficus Robusta (Elastica) - Rubber Plant
For optimal performance, keep at 60-85°F (15-29°C).
Protect furniture when watering.
Feed once per month at half strength when plant is actively growing.
If you would like a bushier plant, prune your plant to promote branching. The
plant exudes a white, milky sap when pruned or broken, so if your skin comes in
contact with it, wash your hands immediately.
These are NOT low light plants and need to be right in front of a window for best
results. Some direct sun is beneficial (east or west window) and they can even
grow in your sunniest window.
Allow the top 2-3 inches of soil to dry out before watering again.
Use a well-draining potting mix. Adding perlite and orchid bark will improve
drainage.
Never allow to sit in standing water.
As with any Ficus, avoid any drafty areas and avoid placing near cooling and
heating vents or the plant may drop its leaves.
The broad leaves will get very dusty, so use a duster to clean the leaves, wipe
with a damp sponge, or rinse the leaves off.
