(Acquired 8 May 2017; PhP450; Laguna) About 4 feet tall. #ficus #rubbertree #houseplant #PHGardenTags #PHGardenTagsFicus #PHGardenTagsRubberTree

Notes: 29 May 2017 Medium to bright indirect light. Water when top 25-30% of soil is dry. Leaves turn yellow from under- and over-watering. Drooping leaves if too hot (exceed 29C/85F) or under-watered. Does not like to be moved around. Keep away from cold drafts/ air conditioners. Likes to be root-bound in small pots. Big pot = tall plant.

Notes: 29 May 2017 New leaf on the rubber tree 🙌🏽 About 4 feet away from east facing window. Water every 5 days. Fertilized once this month.

This is a splendid specimen. Got my burgundy rubber tree two weeks ago. I hope it will do as well as yours.

Good luck, Edra @edrabelga! I'm sure it will 😊
03 July 2017 The new leaf on top had a new leaf (that's still inside its sheath) inside it! Has anyone seen this before?! Plants are crazy 😜 #ficus #ficuselastica #rubbertree #PHGardenTags #PHGardenTagsFicus #PHGardenTagsRubberTree
Nope. But this plant seems to have beautiful foliage. :)
06 June 2017 The third leaf (that was still in its sheath in the pic above) just opened and has another leaf-in-a-sheath inside! On the 2nd floor balcony outside with a bit of roof. West side getting direct sun from 12nn-5pm. So far, no burns but during monsoon season, sun is not too strong. Four new leaves since! #balcony #balconygarden
