Soil: It is recommended to use breathable, water-permeable and fertile acidic soil for cultivating Indian rubber trees; temperature: it is best to control it between 20-25℃. It is relatively heat-tolerant and can grow well even at temperatures above 30 degrees. Watering: It grows faster during high temperatures in summer, so you need to water it heavily and thoroughly. Lighting: Give it enough sunlight to make it grow. It will thrive, but be careful to shade it during the summer when the sun is strong.

1. Soil

It is recommended to use air-permeable and fertile acidic soil for cultivating Indian rubber trees. The potting soil is best prepared with leaf mold soil, grass ash soil and a small amount of river sand.

2. Temperature

The best growth temperature is 20-25°C, and it is relatively heat-resistant and can grow well even at temperatures above 30°C. However, its cold tolerance is very poor. If the temperature is too low in winter, it will shed a large number of leaves. In northern areas, it needs to be overwintered indoors.

3. Watering

During the high temperatures in summer, it grows faster. Water it heavily and thoroughly, but avoid water accumulation in the soil. Reduce watering in autumn to promote full plant growth and help it survive the winter smoothly.

4. Light

Give it enough sunlight to make it thrive, but be careful to provide it with appropriate shade during the summer months from May to September when the light is strong. You can use sunshade nets, etc. to control the light intensity.

5. Precautions

1. Fertilization: You can apply some nitrogen fertilizer in an appropriate amount. It can reduce the occurrence of spots and make the leaves brighter, but remember to stop fertilizing it in winter.

2. Pruning: It is best to prune it in spring, cut off forked branches, inward branches and thin branches to maintain ventilation and good light transmission in the tree.
