Frequently asked questions

How do I keep the red colour strong? Give it plenty of bright, indirect light. In low light the leaves turn greener and lose their red intensity.

How often should I water it? Only when the top 2–3 cm of soil have dried. Rubber plants prefer to dry out slightly between waterings and dislike soggy roots.

Does it purify indoor air? Yes – like other rubber plants, it helps freshen indoor air while adding bold colour.
