Rubber Plant | Variegated Rubber Plant Care

General

The Variegated Plant / Variegated Rubber Plant, a species of the evergreen tropical tree, is quite similar to the regular Rubber Plant. The only difference being that the Variegated ones have beautiful shaded leaves of white, yellow, and greens. It was used for its latex sap to make rubber before synthetics were made available.

With an ability to reduce and balance formaldehyde levels, remove airborne toxins, and fight tropical diseases, the Variegated Plant is one of the best air-purifying plants.

Plants are a popular indoor plant choice due to their low maintenance, low-light tolerance and very attractive foliage

Sunlight

Your Variegated Rubber Tree requires bright indirect sunlight.

If you place your Variegated Rubber Tree in the shade, it will lose its distinct variegated markings. Placing it in direct sunlight may cause its leaves to burn.

Watering

Your Variegated Rubber Plant enjoys a moist soil. But ensure the top 1 inch of soil is dry before watering

Water your Variegated Plant every 5-7 days in summer and every 10-14 in winter

Soil:

Since your Variegated Rubber Plant won’t tolerate soggy roots, use a well draining soil mixture like a Cactus potting mix.

For Repotting, use garden soil 30%, cocopeat 25%, vermi compost 25% & perlite 20%

Fertiliser:

Feed the plant monthly with a general houseplant fertiliser during the growing season (spring to summer).

Toxicity:

Variegated Rubber Plant is toxic if consumed and not suitable for spaces with pets and children.

Additional Care Information:

Regularly wipe the leaves of the Variegated Plant with a damp cloth. The large leaves can easily accumulate dust over time.

Troubleshooting:

Falling leaves along with wet potting mix – Indicate your Variegated Plant has been overwatered. Wait from the soil to dry out.

Yellowing, drooping leaves – Indicates your plant has been overwatered. Ensure you let your plant’s soil completely dry out between waterings, and allow proper drainage.

Mushy leaves – Indicates your plant has been overwatered – immediately stop watering the plant till the top 1 inch of the soil is dry.
