3. Are available to us at a discounted price point that we want to pass on to consumers.
If you change your mind you can always receive a store credit. If your plant is delayed you can always receive a cash refund.
The Rubber Plant, or Ficus Elastica, is a beloved staple of indoor plants. It also happens to be the easiest Ficus to care for! With immediately recognizable thick and glossy “rubber” leaves, these hardy and resilient plants grow in a variety of colours. The Ficus Melany sports a unique, bronze-y hue, and is trained to grow in a sleek Tree style, as opposed to the typical bush.
Light: Medium light is ideal. It will grow faster in bright rooms, but too much direct sun will burn the leaves.
Water: Water sparingly, about once a month in the winter and as often as every 2 weeks in the spring./summer.
Humidity: Normal humidity works so don't put it directly in front of a vent, but it also won't complain if you don't have a big humidifier beside it.

How to care for your
Ficus elastica
About care instructions
Plant care can vary depending on placement, light and exact environment. You can always request plant care help here.
Water: 1-2 weeks
Let the soil dry out 50-70% between watering. You can either stick a chopstick or your finger in to make sure the top at least 2 inches of soil are dry or lift the pot to see if it feels a bit light. Water thoroughly and make sure to pot in well-draining soil with drainage holes. Depending on the season and light, you will need to water the plant every 1-2 weeks.
Sun: bright light
This plant needs at least a few hours of direct sun every day. Perfect for a space that faces a south-facing window or directly in your east and west-facing windows. Anything less, and you should consider getting a grow light. It can be placed outside in the summer, where it gets at least a few hours of direct sun a day.
Humidity: medium
This plant requires moderate humidity. Most households should be fine. Around 20-40% humidity works. It will be happy with more as well.
