Care Information
- Temperature: For optimal performance, keep at 60-85°F (15-29°C).
- Light: Baby rubber plants prefer bright areas but direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, a well-lit windowsill or patio door, south, east or west-facing with indirect sun are good options.
- Humidity: They thrive in average to high humidity levels, so if not placed in a steamy bathroom, kitchen or laundry you may want to provide extra moisture. A pebble tray or frequent misting may help add humidity if needed, but a humidifier is a better option.
- Placement: Avoid cold drafts and direct airflow from heaters in the winter months as very dry air can cause damage.
- Water: Water when the top two to three inches of soil is dry, roughly every one to two weeks during the growing season, and less in the winter. Because these leaves are "succulent-like" and retain water it does have a bit of drought tolerance, but overall health is improved with a consistent watering schedule.
- Soil: Add some perlite and/or orchid bark to help fluff up the potting mix and provide better drainage.
- Growing: Feed once per month at half strength when plant is actively growing.
