🌱 Plant Description

The Rubber Fig is a robust evergreen tree known for its large, glossy, deep green leaves and easy care. It can grow as a small indoor plant or a large outdoor tree depending on climate. Indoors, it typically reaches 1–2 meters, while outdoors it can grow up to 30 meters tall in tropical conditions.

  • Leaves: Thick, shiny, dark green leaves with a prominent central vein; some varieties have variegated patterns with cream, yellow, or pink stripes.

  • Trunk: Woody, upright trunk; produces a milky latex when cut.

  • Growth Habit: Upright, bushy, and adaptable to pruning; can be shaped as desired.

🌸 Key Features

Watering

Water your plant once a week or when the soil starts to feel slightly dry on the surface. Keep the soil consistently moist, but be careful not to overwater, as this can cause brown spots and leaf drop. If the leaves become curly or dry, it's a sign that the plant needs water. It's best to water your plant in the early morning or late evening when the temperatures are cooler. Always check the soil before watering.

Light

Provide bright indoor light or indirect sunlight for about 6 to 8 hours a day.

Temperature

Maintain temperatures between 18°C and 24°C. Avoid exposing the plant to drafts, as these can cause undesirable temperature fluctuations. Mist the plant occasionally, about twice a week, to help maintain optimal humidity levels.

Fertilizer

Apply liquid fertiliser every 15 days when the plant is actively growing. For best results, use Folikraft ready-to-use Indoor Plant Food.
