Sunlight👉
Now, in general, provide an hour of the direct morning sun or keep in the brightest place.
Watering👉
The leaves of the rubber plants are thick, broad, and quite hard, which means the leaves can hold more water as well as the evaporation rate is low. So water when 60% of the soil feels dry.
Humidity👉
The rubber plants are native to Southeast Asia and they do prefer more than 50% humidity.
Potting Soil👉
The Potting Mix Recipe for Rubber Plant or Ficus Elastica Plant 👉
- 2 parts garden soil
- 1 part cocopeat
- 2 parts compost
- 1 part rice husk
- 1 part charcoal
Fertilizer👉
Spring is the perfect time to fertilize rubber plants. Use nitrogen-rich fertilizer or 1:1:1 rational npk fertilizer for optimum growth.
Pest👉
Mix 1/6 teaspoon of soap or shampoo and 1 teaspoon of neem oil in a liter of water. And wipe the dust from the plant leaves.
How to get big & bushy rubber plant?👉
Tip pruning promotes multiple growths but it is more effective on mature thick-stem rubber plants, those have enough potential to promote multiple growths otherwise young rubber plants most of the time form a single shoot after tip pruning.

Very good, straightforward tips. I did not know that about the more green the leaf, the less light it needs.

If ur rubber plant has yellow brown dry patches or cracks. Can they heal? Or do I cut those ?

[@MiscellaneousMichelle]

💚

[@mskhumalo5118]

I had my rubber plant inside the house, it was dying slowly. So i took it outside (direct morning sunlight outside) it started growing so fast. Now it is tall . Its still summer here in South Africa so not sure what to do with it in Winter 😮.

[@Plantalogy]

Protect from overwintering. Keep indoors beside a south-facing window. Make sure the plant is still receiving a good amount of sunlight. Reduce watering. Water thoroughly when 70% soil feels dry. Best of luck🌷🌱🌷🌱❄️❄️

[@mskhumalo5118]

@@Plantalogy thank you

[@Arru22]

I just bought the plant online, it came with compost around the plant . Now can u give me some suggestion how to care of it in its initial stage. All I can provide for now is soil and fertiliser

[@Plantalogy]

Simply repot the plant using the potting mix I have shared or using indoor plant soil mix. Water thoroughly. And water again when 50%-60% soil feels dry. Rubber plant likes to dry out between watering. Keep the plant in a bright place (1-2 hours of bright indirect light) for a week to adjust the plant to the new environment. Gradually shift the plant to the brightest place or a place where the plant will receive around 2-3 hours of direct sunlight. You can spray diluted fungicide solution once a week to prevent fungal infestation. Fertilizer in spring with nitrogen-rich fertilizer. Best of luck 🌷🌷🌸

Hi how to clean leaves of rubber plant

[@michaelgilbert3213]

Hi, I have just bought my first rubber plant. A friend has told me that to encourage it to grow I should re-pot it in a big pot in order to provide plenty of room for the roots, this makes sense to me. What do you think? and do you have any tips on how to encourage growth. Thanks.

[@Plantalogy]

Actually, a large-sized pot doesn’t improve the growth of the plant until the plant actually needs a large pot! Choose pots based on the plant's root ball. So you can minimize overwatering issues. Rubber plants are susceptible to overwatering. Better start with an 8-inch pot if the root ball is around 6 inches. And increase the pot size once a year if needed., 🌸☘️☘️

How to reproduce rubber planþýppppp

[@laquellemartin6245]

Another important care tip is to NOT use any tap water on these plants. I’ve had two of them and they both lost all of their leaves very quickly, browning almost immediately 😢. I just purchased my third one and have had it for a month and a half now using only distilled water and she is standing strong, beautiful, and healthy 💪🏽🪴🫶🏽

[@anitasinghvi3896]

Hi, the leaves of my rubber plant are dropping, what to do , pls help

[@lathavijayan8415]

Which is better, the verigated one or the other one, to be used as an air purifier?

[@Plantalogy]

The variegated one requires an extra hour of bright light or direct light. And the air purification rate of these indoor plants is very low.. ☘️🌷🌷🌷

When is a good time/ season to prune rubber plant?

[@Plantalogy]

Early spring & monsoon are the best times to prune and propagate rubber plants. ☘️☘️☘️🌸

[@rachelgreenwood356]

Loved the information. How do I save my rubber tree plant that has been overwater. I saw bugs crawling on the top of the soul. No foul order, but leaves are turning red. Please help me. This plant came from my son's funeral.

[@Plantalogy]

You better take out the plant from the container and check the roots, if the plant has root rot, remove the rotted portions, and wash the roots using a fungicide solution. Then repot using fresh well-draining soil. Or can try out the potting soil recipe I have shared in this video... Best of luck☘️☘️🌷🌷🌸

[@harpinderkaur8331]

Good information thanks

[@starrgranby6104]

Who has all these different types of soil? What about one kind of soul ?

[@morimomo9289]

If i dont have neem oil, can i use cooking oil ? Thankyou ❤

[@Plantalogy]

No, you can not, that will attract more insects😅 You better manually wash each of the leaves using mild soapy water. 🌱🌷🌷

[@user-bl4nm3bb5h]

My rubber plant which I brought 3 months back has 2 leaves sprouting but they are not growing still same from last 2 months , how much time they take the leave to grow fully

[@Plantalogy]

Provide more sun if your plant is in a dark place. It is considered as an indoor plant or low-light plant, but Ficuses need at least 2-3 hours of direct sunlight or 4-5 hours of bright indirect light for proper growth. 🌱😊😊🌷🌷

[@wonderfullife1834]

What is the diameter and depth of this pot?

[@Plantalogy]

It's an 8' inches plastic pot...🌻🌱🌻

[@sameeramushtaq2630]

My rubber plant leaves having brown edges It’s a new plant I brought but it started to turn brown edges Some fallen off Turing yellow and brown too

[@skym821]

I read online that yellow means over watering. Brown means underwatering.

[@mani_11155..]

hey when I brought my rubber plant I re-potted and it and my neighbor forced me to leave it in the day sunlight, I did not have any idea about plants so I did and all the leaves drooped It's been a few months since the leaves did not come up some of them even fell the stem it tilting now I am very worried please help my plant🙏🙏

[@Plantalogy]

Rubber plants prefer direct sun to grow fast. But can you please explain how did you take care of your rubber plant after repotting? & did you damage or disturb the roots of the plant during repotting? 🌱🌷🌷

[@journey_withTB]

My plany leaf are becoming white from middle

[@maritadsouza6419]

My plant is not growing as even i trimed top two leaves plz suggest.

[@Plantalogy]

Summer is the growing period for the rubber plants. So after tip pruning, the plant needs a good amount of light exposure to sprout out. Try to keep the plant in the brightest place you have if the plant is not receiving enough sun. Use nitrogen-rich fertilizers such as fish emulsion, fish meal, and cow manure to encourage new growth. 🌷🌷🌱🌱

[@gardeningtimewithdanish]

If we use rice husk powder? Then

[@Plantalogy]

Yeah, sure. That also can be used. 🙂☘️☘️
