QuestionI need any and all info you can give me on the care of rubber plants and scheffelear plants. (I am unsure of that spelling)
AnswerDear Dawn,
I have found this question in a question pool, and it should not have been their, it is a very easy question. So, I am sorry for the wait. I want you to know it's not my fault.
Answer:
Rubber Plant:
Light Needed: Place in bright light, indirectly lit south, east, or west window.
Water: Let plant approach dryness before watering, but water thoroughly and discard drainage.
Humidity: Average indoor levels.
Fertilization: Fertilize all year, but more heavily in summer.
Propagation: Take cuttings from stems or shoots before they have hardened or matured.
Grooming: Prune to a tree form as the plant matures. Keep as desired height or shape with light pruning or clipping at any time.
Repotting: Repot in winter or early spring, as needed. Infrequent repotting is best.
Umbrella Trees:
Light: Place in bright but indirect light from a south, east, or west window.
Water: Let plant approach dryness before watering, but water thoroughly and discard drainage.
Humidity: Average indoor levels.
Fertilization: Fertilize only during late spring and summer.
Propagation: Take stem cutting any time. Seeds are available, but can be more difficult to use.
Grooming: Give this plant plenty of room. Pick off yellowed leaves.
Repotting: Infrequent repotting is best.
Sincerely,
Sam
