Rubber Plant Golden Varigated

Description

Here’s a short care guide for a variegated rubber plant (Ficus elastica ‘Variegata’):

🌿 Light

• Bright, indirect light is best.
• Avoid direct sun, which can scorch variegated leaves.
• Low light can cause loss of variegation.

💧 Water

• Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry.
• Do not let it sit in water — good drainage is essential.
• Reduce watering in winter.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Prefers 65–80°F (18–27°C).
• Keep away from drafts and cold air.
• Moderate humidity is fine; occasional misting helps.

🌱 Soil

• Use well-draining potting mix (e.g., indoor mix with perlite).

🌸 Fertilizer

• Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer.
• No need to fertilize in winter.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Wipe leaves to remove dust.
• Prune for shape or to remove leggy growth.
