Rubber Plant

While rubber plants are a pretty hardy varietal, they do have a few specific care requirements in order to find the right balance in their environment. That means providing lots of light, moist (but not soggy) soil, and enough fertilizer to keep it healthy. The rubber plant has waxy-looking leaves that start out a pink-coral hue, eventually deepening to a dark rich green. As the rubber plant grows it will begin to droop, so it's important that you help support them by using a long wooden dowel (or bamboo stalk) to help keep them upright. Light Like most plants in their genus, rubber plants love lots of bright, diffused light. They can tolerate soft morning sunlight but should be moved out of the line of harsh direct rays in the afternoon as they can singe the leaves. Plants that do not receive sufficient light will become leggy, lose their lower leaves, and their leaf color will become dull instead of glossy and vibrant. Soil When it comes to their soil
