A slow growing variegated Ficus or what is often called a rubber plant is easy to maintain. This plant is similar to other rubber tree plants except it needs bright to keep it's pink, green, and white foliage looking colorful.
Rubber Tree Plants like right indirect light and well drained potting soil. Water once the soil becomes slightly dry to the touch and make sure the pot has sufficient drainage holes to allow excess water to seep through. It prefers temperatures of 65 to 75 degrees in doors. Normal room humidity is fine. To improve humidity mist the leaves when it gets very warm in the summer. Once the rubber plant has grown to the height you want it to grow up to, you can cut the top off. You may also want to prune back any unwanted branches to give the plant a fuller shape. It's best to prune in spring or summer but any other time will be fine. Feed during spring and summer with a diluted liquid fertilizer every two weeks.
This tree grows up to eight feet high.
Poisonous to cats and dogs.
