Additional care information
The large leaves of the Rubber Plant easily accumulate dust over time. Wipe them clean regularly with a damp cloth.

Troubleshooting
Falling leaves: indicate your Rubber Plant has suffered from low humidity levels. Try misting it more frequently to remedy that, or placing it on a pebble tray partly filled with water (ensure the soil is not touching the water).
Browning, drooping leaves: indicates your plant has been overwatered. Ensure you let your plant’s soil completely dry out between waterings, and allow proper drainage.
