Rubber plant
Perfect for indoors, this popular tree has shiny oval-shaped leaves that boast a dark green color. This fast-growing houseplant can reach anywhere from 6 to 10 feet tall indoors — the perfect height for making a design statement in just about any space
They have a wide range of conditions that they tolerate, they grow fairly quickly when in good conditions, and they can bounce back pretty fast if you happen to mess up their care routine,
Water
The best thing you can do for a rubber plant is to ensure that it doesn’t sit in water, as this can lead to root rot. Watering depends on how fast the soil dries in your home, so check the soil every few days. If you notice that it happens to be dry, then you can proceed to water your plant. “Depending on the season, you may be watering as often as every 3 days, or as sparsely as every 8 days,” he says. Misting the leaves is also a good idea when the air is dry.
Sunlight
Lots of bright, indirect light is ideal for rubber plants. Consider placing one near a window with sheer drapes that allow sunlight to filter through. A grow light is worth considering as well if your home has less than ideal lighting conditions.
Soil
Rubber plants hate sitting in water, so well-draining soil is a must. The catch here is that since it’s a tropical forest plant, the soil also needs to be rich in organic matter at the same time. A good mix of regular garden soil, vermicompost, and perlite or wood chips/tree bark will work very well.
