The watering principle of Rubber fig is: dry thoroughly, water thoroughly. Before each watering, it depends on the situation of basin soil. When the surface of basin soil turns white, it is a signal of water shortage and can be watered.
Rubber leaves are large and need more water. In the growing period, water once every 2.3 days, and often spray water on the leaves to keep the basin soil moist. In winter, water should be properly controlled. As long as the surface of basin soil is slightly wet, do not water it.
Water is the main and water spray is the auxiliary. Spray water correctly while watering to ensure the growth of plants more robust.
Spray water only when the temperature is high and the air is dry, which is mainly to alleviate the discomfort caused by high temperature or drying.
When there is dust on the leaf surface, wipe the leaf surface with a soft wet rag as much as possible. The leaf surface is large and leathery, which is very easy to clean.
Note: water spray cannot replace watering. Spray water 10 times, the leaves can't be watered once. Spray water to moisten the leaves and water the plants.
Indoor: it needs to be watered after the surface soil is dry. The water spray can be carried out properly and not too often. After all, the adaptability of Rubber fig is very strong.
Outdoor: the basin soil can be kept wet, but also to prevent water logging. Spray water properly and frequently. It is better to spray water on the ground to increase air humidity, with better effect.
In winter, the Rubber fig is maintained in the room. The watering should be alternate between dry and wet. Water once a half month. During this period, spray water or wipe the leaves with a wet cloth. If you have a heating in your home, you can put a metal container on the heating, which is full of water. This can obviously increase the indoor air humidity, which is equivalent to a high-power humidifier, and is also beneficial to human body.
