Rubber Tree

Rubber trees are a beautiful addition to any growing plant collection. They boast a variety of different colors, from the rich forest greens, the deep burgundies, and the lovely rubies and Tinekes. Propagating these guys does take a little patience, but it is possible!

Common Names: Rubber trees, rubber plant

Botanical Names: Ficus Elastica, Robusta, Decora, Burgundy, Tineke

Care tips for a happy plant:

Light: CAN be in some sunlight but really prefer an indirect light setting (my parents have a massive one in their house that lives in a Northeast corner and THRIVES)

Soil: regular potting soil- we use Happy Frog

Water: although full, these bushy babes have a relatively thin root system and want to stay on a week to week and a half watering schedule

Humidity: not picky

Temperature: average household temps

Toxicity: toxic to both humans and pets if consumed
