**Rubber Plant** • **Beauty:** The tree makes any space modern and premium with its unique beauty of shiny dark green leaves. • **Usefulness:** Ideal for indoor, office, balcony and living space decoration. • **Features:** Grows easily with low maintenance and maintains a fresh green beauty for a long time, which softens the indoor environment.

**Watering:** Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. **Lighting:** Prefers bright indirect light; avoid direct harsh sunlight which can scorch leaves. **Pruning:** Prune to maintain shape or remove dead/yellowing foliage as needed.

### Potting & Planting Instructions for Rubber Plant 1. **Container Selection**: Choose a terracotta, ceramic, or nursery pot with generous drainage holes at the base. 2. **Soil Mix Recipe**: Use Deep, fertile, well-draining sandy loam enriched with organic compost and well-rotted manure (pH 6.0–7.5). Adding a layer of coarse gravel or leca at the bottom enhances oxygenation. 3. **Planting Depth**: Position the plant at the exact same root collar depth as in its nursery container. Avoid burying stems too deep. 4. **Initial Settling**: After potting, water thoroughly until water drains freely, then place in bright indirect light for 3–5 days to acclimatize before moving to full sun.

Harvest mature stems/leaves as needed using clean sterilized pruning shears.

Pairs wonderfully with drought-tolerant companion plants and complementary fruit plants varieties.
