Burgundy Rubber Plant (Ficus Elastica) in ceramic cream and gold polka dot pot with multi-colored stones
Burgundy Rubber Plant (Ficus Elastica). Propagated and pre-potted houseplants are perfect for new plant parents, individuals who consider themselves as having "brown thumbs" (the “I kill every plant” person), and anyone who prefers not to wait endlessly for their plant cuttings to grow.
How it works:
- You will receive a successful starter plant, a thoughtfully selected pot crafted from all-natural materials.
- You will have the option to select from healing quartz crystals, pebbles or stones, or just plain soil on top of your plant (see below for descriptions). Your plant will also come with a wooden stick to measure soil wetness and dryness as well as an eco friendly plantable seed TPP card.
- You will have the option to pick up from my home (in the enclosed "Prop Pot Greenhouse" in the driveway) or have local delivery (within 18 miles of Yarmouth, ME). Voilà!
Plant Care
-
Light: The plant prefers bright, indirect sunlight, such as from an east or west window, or a south window with sheer curtains. It can tolerate lower light spaces than other ficus plants, but avoid placing it near a drafty window or vent, or in direct sunlight.
-
Water: Water the plant when the top 2.5–5 cm of soil is dry. You can tell when it's time to water by poking your finger about 5 cm into the soil. Water more often in the summer than in the winter.
-
Temperature: The ideal temperature for the plant is between 65°F to 85°F (18°C-30°C), and it shouldn't go below 60°F (15°C).
-
Humidity: The plant will grow better in higher humidity conditions, preferably between 30-60%
