The rubber plant is a classic worthy of any corner in your home. It needs very little care compared with other plants in the ficus family and can deal with lower light levels.

Best space & place

This ficus, like most others is happiest situated in indirect bright light. It is happy in most rooms, with a minimum temperature of 12°C. It does not like draughts and this can cause the leaves to discolour.

When to water & feed

Allow the top two inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Apply a general purpose houseplant feed like in the summer months. Reduce watering in winter.

Need to know
The leaves benefit from a damp wipe from time to time to remove dust, facilitate more light transmission, and keep looking glossy. They can lose leaves when settling in but they are soon replaced.

Pollutant Absorption Credentials

Rubber Plants have been shown to help remove formaldehyde from the air, which can be given off by building materials, synthetic fabrics, and furniture. Just moved into a new-build house? Then this plant is for you!

Outdoor plants

We also offer one-off maintenance visits and packages for larger schemes.

For no fuss or mess you can put the plant in the growing pot it arrives in straight inside a decorative one. This also allows allows excess water to be drained after watering.

For a good fit the opening (not diameter) and height of the new decorative pot need to be several centimetres greater than the current growing pot.

Remember to take into account tapering, as the internal height of a pot will be measured from the centre to the top but the sides will taper in on a rounded pot.

⌀17cm	18-19cm
⌀20cm	21-22cm
⌀25cm	25-26cm
⌀28cm	29-30cm

⌀50cm	51-52cm

For a seamless finish where the plant is potted into the decorative pot, liners are available to prevent water leaking and the pot from damage.
