Medium to bright. If the leaves become too big and start drooping they're getting too much light. If the plant becomes leggy (sticky), they're getting too little.
Water weekly when the top 1/3 of the sil is dry. Do not let let this plant be constantly wet or moist. Browning leaves are a sign it's getting too much water. Rubber plants are not too worried about humidity.
Fertilise 2-3 times in the summer. If you don't want your Rubber Plant to grow too big too fast, reduce feeding.
You can re-pot every year to a bigger pot size until desired size is reached. Or keep them small. Even so, it's good to refresh their soil every year.
Wipe those sultry leaves with a damp cloth to keep them shining and dust free. This also helps to keep aphids and mealy bugs away.
The Ficus elastica produces a milky white latex that was formerly used to make rubber - hence it's name. Native to Southeast Asia and Sri Lanka.
