He got a hair cut! I think he looks a lot better and he's shooting new out everywhere!!


Rubber trees have big dark colored leaves. They can grow into nice full little trees if given the right care. They can get quite big, but if they get to big for you just cut them back and new growth will grow under where you cut. You can put the cuttings in water or right into soil and make a new plant too. They like bright light and East window seem the best. Let them dry out between waterings. Not bone dry but dry. Keep the leaves clean by wiping them down with a warm washcloth. It hard for them to breath with dusty leaves.
