Rubber Plant

styling and photography by Taylor Bennett

This striking rubber plant (Ficus Tineke) has stunning, variegated, multi-colored leaves.  It is a beautiful houseplant and with proper care and minimal effort, it will grow and proudly show off its distinctive colors.

LIGHT: This plant can handle low light conditions, but it is advised that you put it somewhere where it can get a bright source of indirect sunlight. Rotate the plant in intervals to ensure all the parts get sufficient light.

WATER: The ficus can become oversensitive to too much watering, but it doesn’t do well in too dry soil. You don’t have to water it all the way through, as watering the top one inch of the soil is okay.

TEMPERATURE:  It would be best if you kept your room temperature between 60F° to 80F° for the best results. Anything below 55F° is bad for your plant.
