Rubber Tree (Ficus Elastica)
It is an ornamental plant that is simple to grow in our homes, workplaces and offices. The leaves of the plant with large and beautiful leaves are wide and attractive. It renews itself periodically. It is highly preferred because of its simple growth, rapid development and adaptability to any environment. It grows in almost all soil types. The Rubber Tree plant, which can stay in the same soil for a long time, requires soil addition once a year. In order for your rubber tree to maintain its flamboyant state, you should provide your plant with vitamin and mineral support at regular intervals.
Growing, maintaining and watering the Rubber Tree plant:
On certain days of the year, yellowed or rotten leaves should be trimmed with scissors.
The rubber plant needs sunlight to grow comfortably.
The leaves in the area where it receives sunlight have a tendency towards the sun.
The area that is directed to sunlight should be changed at regular intervals with other parts of the plant that do not receive sunlight.
The leaves should not come into contact with any object in the environment.
Like every plant, rubber tree is also negatively affected by wind and air currents.
For this reason, the rubber tree plant should be protected from wind and airflow.
The most important rule when watering is that the water must be poured in such a way that it reaches every part of the plant.
The container we use to irrigate our plants should always be of the same size, constant and the same amount of water should be used on our irrigation days. Unless we see an abnormal development in the plant, we should not change our irrigation technique.
Irrigation types are made in two types as summer and winter months.
Since the soil of the plant will dry out easily due to the hot and humid weather in the summer months, the rubber tree should be watered once or twice a week depending on the environment it is in.
Due to the cold weather in the winter months, the first thing to be considered is that the cold water taken from the fountain will be given directly to the plant, which will cause the plant to get cold, yellowing of the leaves over time, shedding and rot in the root of the plant.
The most important point is that the air temperature should be at least 12 ° C in the environment where our plants are located in the winter months. In weather conditions below this degree, the leaves of our plant begin to turn yellow, wilt and deteriorate.
Especially in the winter months, the most important issue when watering our plants is that we should give the water of the plant at room temperature.
Propagation of Rubber Tree Plant:
If there are several branches in the rubber tree, we should cut one of them close to the trunk and put it in water for a certain period of time to ensure its rooting.
After this process, we can get a new rubber tree plant by planting our rooted branch in a new pot with suitable soil and suitable pot.
By cutting the gap under your Rubber tree plant, which has grown a lot in our workplace, office, home, and has shed its leaves in the lower part, 35-40 cm above the stem that comes out of the plant's soil, we subject our plant to the same rooting process, and we obtain a second rubber flower.
In order to protect the cut part of your rubber flower in the pot from air flow, you should cut this part from the air with objects such as freezing silicone or candles.
Over time, the remaining part of the soil will start to give leaves.
You should apply the same watering, growing and care procedures to your 1st and 2nd rubber tree plant.
