Use the finger test — if the soil is dry at that depth, it’s time to water.
During the growing season (spring through early autumn), water every 7–10 days.
In winter, reduce watering to every 2–3 weeks, depending on indoor humidity.
Avoid overwatering — it’s the most common cause of root rot in Rubber Trees.
Always use a pot with drainage holes and let any excess water fully drain after each watering.
Rubber Tree thrives in bright, indirect light and adapts well to indoor environments.
Ideal: Near an east- or south-facing window with filtered sunlight or sheer curtains.
Tolerates: Medium light conditions, but growth may slow and leaves can lose their vibrant color.
Avoid: Direct sunlight for long hours — it can cause leaf burn and browning edges.
Tip: Wipe the leaves regularly to remove dust, allowing the plant to absorb more light efficientl
Fertilize your Rubber Tree during its active growing season (spring to early autumn).
Use: A balanced, water-soluble fertilizer (like 10-10-10 or 20-20-20) once a month, diluted to half strength.
Avoid: Fertilizing in winter (October to February), as the plant enters dormancy and requires less nutrition.
Tip: Over-fertilizing can cause leaf drop or root burn — always follow the "less is more" approach.
