CARE TIPS:
Light: Bright indirect light. Keep in mind if it gets direct light the leaves are easy to burn.

Water: Rubber plants like to be watered when the top 2 inches of their soil are totally dry to the touch. They also enjoy the occasional misting, especially when the air around them is dry.

Temperature: Keep the plant in a warm, humid environment with temperatures ranging between 60°F to 85°F.

Fertilizer: Feed the plant with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every month during the growing season (spring and summer).

Re-potting: Remember, re-potting is a stressful process for plants, so it's important to avoid disturbing the roots too much and to keep the soil consistently moist in the days following re-potting to help the plant recover.
Choose a pot that is one size larger than the current one. The new pot should have drainage holes to prevent water from accumulating in the soil.

Propagation: When planting the rooted cutting, make sure to use a well-draining potting mix and keep the soil consistently moist. Water it thoroughly after planting and place it in a bright, indirect light location. With proper care, the new plant should begin to grow and thrive.
