Get App Ficus Elastica are native to South Asia and produce a white latex that was used in the past to make rubber! @Aplantlady on

Get App You can choose a pot that ranges from a couple of inches bigger than its root ball, to one that is moderately larger. @Aplantlady on

Get App Both terracotta and plastic pots are fine, just make sure they have drainage holes. Remember terracotta will dry out a tiny bit faster as well. @Aplantlady on

Get App Use a high quality, all purpose potting soil to pot this plant. Pack the soil in loosely around the top! @Aplantlady on

Get App Water thoroughly about once a week. The soil likes to be kept evenly moist for a few days, but also needs time to dry out in between waterings. @Aplantlady on

Get App Rubber trees need very bright, indirect light for most of the day. A couple of hours of full sun is also okay, but too much will burn the leaves. @Aplantlady on

Get App Fertilize your plant in the spring and summer. This can extend into early fall. Only fertilize when the plant is actively growing! @Aplantlady on

Get App The variegated ficus elastica needs a tiny bit more full sun than a dark green ficus to keep its variegation. @Aplantlady on

Get App The sap in ficus trees is slightly toxic so keep these plants up high where pets can't get into them. @Aplantlady on
