DESCRIPTION
Pink and orange tones of the Ruby Rubber Plant offset by the pure white of the new Dash Planter. A stunning combination for a gift!
Rubber plants make great gifts because they’re beautiful and relatively fuss free and the Ruby variety has beautiful colours. The pink and orangey yellow variegated leaves look most attractive in a white pot.
The Ruby Rubber plant prefers bright, indirect or bright light and watering of about once every 7-10 days when at least the top 50% of the soil is dry. Overwatering it can cause stress and leaf drop. But the good news is you can adjust the watering as necessary and the plant will be able to recover in time.
It is also best to clean the rubber plant’s leaves regularly with a soft cloth or sponge to keep it glossy and dust-free.
