Rubber Plants are quintessential houseplants, popular for decades and quite rightly still on trend today. They are easy to care for and make a sculptural statement in the right location.
Light
Ficus elastica Melany prefers bright, indirect light but does cope quite well in lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight as this will scorch the plant.
Watering
Water when the soil starts to become slightly dry at the top. Keep the soil lightly moist at all times, but do not overwater as this will cause leaf drop.
Temperature
This Ficus does fine in normal household temperatures but will thrive in a slightly warmer environment: between 16-24°C. Avoid cold draughts.
Humidity
This Rubber Plant has no specific humidity requirements, although for an added boost, consider giving your Ficus an occasional misting or relocating to a steamier room like the bathroom or kitchen.
