Ficus elastica, also known as the rubber tree, is a popular houseplant for its beautiful, thick foliage. It needs average room temperatures of 60 to 75°F (15 to 24°C) and indirect light to thrive. Be sure not to overwater and maintain well-drained, aerated soil to avoid root rot problems. It is best to repot your Ficus elastica every year when it is young and every 3 years after it matures. It is also important to feed it regularly with a diluted liquid fertilizer during the growing seasons.

To propagate this plant, you can use stem cuttings by using a rooting hormone and maintaining a temperature of 70 to 75°F (21 to 24°C). It is also possible to prune the plant to give a more aesthetic shape. Remember to clean the leaves regularly to maintain a bright, clean appearance.
