Frequently asked questions

How do I care for a variegated rubber plant?

Bright light, water when the top of the soil is dry, and a steady spot away from drafts.

How much light does it need?

Bright light keeps the cream variegation visible. Low light makes growth leggy and the pattern fade.

Why is it dropping leaves?

Ficus plants often drop leaves after a move, a cold draft, or a change in watering. Keep conditions steady and it should settle.
