Ficus Robusta (Small 1pp)

Watering

Water every 5 to 7 days depending on light and temperature. Keep soil evenly moist, but not soggy.

Fertilizer

Light

Avoid direct sunlight, it burns the leaves of the Rubber Tree. Do not place a Rubber Tree in shade, it will lose the variegated markings. Ideal lighting for a Rubber Tree is a sunny spot shielded by a sheer curtain.

Temperature

Repotting

Repot the plants in late winter or early spring when the rubber tree is semi-dormant and less prone to transplant shock. Place 3 to 4 inches of potting soil in the bottom of the new pot. Water the soil in the old pot thoroughly, as moist soil helps with pot removal. Set the plant into the new pot.
