DETAILS
Onderhoudsinstructies
The Rubber Plant prefers bright, indirect light and should be kept in moderate temperatures. It thrives in high humidity and should be watered regularly to keep the soil evenly moist. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight as this can scorch the leaves.Bodem
Ficus elastica prefers well-draining loamy soil. A mix of potting soil, peat, and perlite works well. Ensure the soil remains moist but not waterlogged to prevent root rot.Kunstmest
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding during the winter months.Verpotten
Repot the Rubber Plant every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a pot that is one size larger and ensure it has good drainage. Repotting is best done in the spring.Voortplanting
Propagate Ficus elastica through stem cuttings. Take a cutting with at least one leaf and a node, and place it in water or moist soil. Keep the cutting in a warm, humid environment until roots develop.Snoeien
Prune the Rubber Plant to maintain its shape and remove any dead or damaged leaves. Pruning can be done throughout the year, but it's best to do major pruning in the spring.Toxiciteit
Ficus elastica is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. The sap can cause skin irritation, so handle the plant with care and keep it out of reach of children and pets.Aanvullend
To encourage bushier growth, pinch off the tips of the plant. Regularly clean the leaves to remove dust and improve photosynthesis. The Rubber Plant can also benefit from occasional misting to increase humidity.BRENG EEN REVOLUTIE TEWEEG IN UW PLANTENVERZORGING
