Your subscription plant for November is:
Ficus elastica 'Chloe'
Mailed anywhere in the US - or picked up at Above the Dirt Garden Shop.
Light: Bright, indirect light is best. Direct sun can scorch the leaves.
Water: Allow the top 2 to 3 inches of the soil to dry out completely before watering again. Staying too soggy will lead to root rot and dropping leaves quickly. Make sure to slow watering through fall and winter months.
Humidity: This plant adapts well to average indoor humidity. We have kept them at this level to help with acclimation to their new home.
Temperature: Prefers 65–85°F. Protect it from temperatures below 55°F, frost, and cold drafts.
Growth Tip: Regularly dusting the leaves and wiping them with a damp cloth will help your plant photosynthesize. If it gets too tall, chop it right above a leaf and it’ll branch from below the cut for you!
Why we love it: This plant is similar to the standard rubber tree that can grow 100 ft tall in the wild, but the ‘Chloe’ is made to be tighter, more compact, and better suited for indoor life. Rubber trees produce their milky latex sap that has been historically harvested for elastic rubber balls, waterproof clothing, and even primitive shoes in ancient Mesoamerican civilizations!
