Provide a location with bright, indirect light; but avoid burning your rubber tree in direct sunlight. Ideal temperatures range from 60º to 80º. Cleaning the leaves will promote better light absorption for photosynthesis. Simply use a damp cloth or sponge and wipe them down and rotate the pot every few weeks to help maintain its dramatic variegation.

Keep it away from draughts, dry heat and  AC units. Use a balanced liquid fertilizer weekly at quarter strength or at half strength every two weeks. Stop fertilizing during the winter when plant growth slows.

These living plants have a sunny disposition and are low maintenance. 

Take care as Rubber Trees are toxic to cats and dogs.

When to Repot:

When you begin to see the root structure of the plant protrude out of the moss ball, it's time to consider moving it to a pot.

Repotting Steps:

1. Find a pot: Choose a pot that is roughly 1/2" wider in circumference than the moss ball.
2. Add Potting Soil: Fill the bottom of the pot with potting soil. Add enough soil so that when the ball is placed in the pot, the top of the ball sits slightly above the top of the pot.
3. Place the Ball: Place the entire ball (string and moss included) into the pot and add soil around it.
4. Soil Level: Ensure the top of the ball sits 1/2" above the soil line.
5. Water and Adjust: Water the plant and add additional soil if needed to maintain the proper soil level.
