Description

The Rubber Fig, also known as Ficus Robusta, is a popular indoor plant that is native to Southeast Asia. It is a member of the fig family and is known for its large, glossy leaves that are thick and rubbery to the touch. The plant can grow up to 120cm tall, but can also be found in smaller sizes of around 30cm. The Rubber Fig is a low-maintenance plant that is easy to care for, making it a great choice for beginners. It prefers bright, indirect light and should be watered when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it is important to ensure that the soil is well-draining. One of the unique features of the Rubber Fig is its ability to purify the air. It is known to remove toxins such as formaldehyde and benzene from the air, making it a great addition to any home or office.

Watering Schedule - Once a week

The watering frequency for a Rubber Fig (Ficus Robusta) indoor plant depends on various factors such as the size of the plant, the pot size, the humidity level, and the temperature. Generally, it is recommended to water the plant once a week during the growing season (spring and summer) and reduce the frequency to once every two weeks during the dormant season (fall and winter). However, it is important to check the soil moisture level before watering and ensure that the top inch of soil is dry before watering again. Overwatering can lead to root rot and other plant diseases, so it is important to avoid watering too frequently.
