Questions about the Rubber Tree Abidjan 1m20 Large Mid-Century
The burgundy-colored leaves of the Rubber Tree makes it a unique option for any indoor space. This plant grows quickly in ideal conditions and is easy to care for. The crimson casings of new leaves adds a pop of color and is the perfect statement piece for budding plant parents.
Is Rubber Tree prone to disease and parasites?
Ficus Elastica can be attacked by red spider mites and scale insects. Inspect its foliage regularly for their presence. In this case, remove the parasites with Super Neem Oil solution and a soft cloth, and spray the foliage more regularly to increase atmospheric humidity.
Ficus Elastica is also sensitive to lack of light, excess water and draughts. If this happens, its leaves turn yellow and eventually fall off. If necessary, adapt your watering routine, try to bring it closer to a source of natural light or move it away from fresh air.
Gray spots on the foliage can be a sign of fungus infestation. Check that you're not over-watering your plant, that there's no standing water at the bottom of the pot, and treat it with the Essential Plant Repair Care Pack.
