How to Grow Rubber Plant Indoor 🌱

To care for an indoor rubber plant, ensure it receives bright, indirect light, maintain consistently moist but not soggy soil, and provide a warm, humid environment. Regularly fertilize during the growing season and consider pruning for a bushier shape.

Detailed Care Guide:

#Light :

Rubber plants thrive in bright, indirect light, such as near an east-facing window, says Lively Root. Avoid direct sunlight, especially during the hottest parts of the day, as it can scorch the leaves.

#Watering :

Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, allowing excess water to drain out. Reduce watering during the dormant season (winter).

#Humidity :

Rubber plants prefer humidity levels above 40%, notes Garden Design. Misting the leaves or placing the pot on a pebble tray can help increase humidity.

#Temperature :

Maintain temperatures between 60°F and 85°F (15°C to 30°C), avoiding cold drafts.
Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix.

#Fertilizing :

Apply a balanced fertilizer during the growing season (spring to late summer).

#Pruning :

Prune back branches in late winter to encourage bushier growth.

#Repotting :

Report every two to three years as the plant grows.

#PestControl :

Monitor for pests like scale and mealybugs and treat with horticultural oil if needed.

#Toxicity :

Be aware that rubber plants are toxic to pets and humans if ingested.
