Care Instructions
The Ficus Robusta is a very easy houseplant. The Rubber Plant likes a light position but not direct sunlight. So do not place the plant too close to the window. Furthermore, the Ficus prefers a temperature of at least 15 degrees. It is advisable to remove the leaves from time to time to promote growth, as they can collect a lot of dust. The Ficus Robusta needs water about 1 or 2 times a week. Let the soil dry out well between watering, and the plant needs less water during the winter. Between March and September, the Ficus would like to receive some plant food on a regular basis. Ultimately, the Rubber Plant can grow up to 2 meters high in a spacious pot! Be careful, because the Ficus Robusta is poisonous to children and animals.
