Ficus Decora 'Ghost', commonly known as the Rubber Plant, is a striking indoor plant with broad, glossy leaves that feature a unique, pale green to almost white hue. This plant adds a modern, tropical touch to any space and is known for its air-purifying qualities.
Light Needs: The Rubber Plant thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. For optimal growth and to maintain its vibrant leaf color, place it near a window with filtered sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause leaf burn.
Water Needs: Water your Rubber Plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. During the growing season (spring and summer), keep the soil slightly moist, but reduce watering in the fall and winter when the plant's growth slows down.
Humidity Needs: Ficus Decora 'Ghost' prefers moderate to high humidity levels. Ideally, maintain humidity around 50-60%. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly, placing a humidifier nearby, or setting the pot on a tray filled with pebbles and water, ensuring the pot does not sit directly in the water.
