Sun: Indirect

This plant enjoys medium to bright light conditions. Too little light may result in leggy growth and loss of leaf vibrancy, so ensure it gets adequate brightness to maintain its deep green foliage.

Light: Medium - Bright

Rubber Plant Melany thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate a few hours of morning sunlight but avoid harsh afternoon sun, as it may scorch the leaves. Place it near an east or north-facing window for the best results.

Water: When Mostly Dry

Water your Rubber Plant Melany when the top 2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the pot has good drainage and always discard excess water from the saucer.

Humidity: Any

Rubber Plant Melany is adaptable and thrives in average household humidity. If your space is particularly dry, occasional misting or using a pebble tray with water can help keep its leaves healthy.

Pet Friendly: Caution

Rubber Plant Melany is moderately toxic to pets and humans. Its sap can cause mild skin irritation, and ingestion may lead to drooling, vomiting, or discomfort in pets. Keep it out of reach of children and curious animals to avoid adverse reactions.

Pro Tip

Clean the glossy leaves of your Rubber Plant Melany regularly with a damp cloth to remove dust and maintain its stunning appearance. This will also help the plant photosynthesize more effectively and thrive in your home.

Your Complete Guide to Pot Sizes: What Size Should You Choose?

When selecting a pot for your plant, it's important to find the right size. But with all the different options out there, how do you know which one is best? We're here to help!

MyGreenscape's pot sizes chart is a great resource for finding your perfect fit. Our easy-to-read chart takes out all the guesswork and helps you quickly choose the right size for your plant.

Smaller pots are best for seedlings or small plants just starting out. These tend to be shallow but wide, allowing enough room for the roots of the young plant but not too much where they get overcrowded. Medium-sized pots are ideal when your plant has grown from its infancy and is ready for more space. These are deeper and wider than small pots, so that it can accommodate larger root systems - making sure your plant gets enough nourishment while still giving it breathing room. Large pots are top choice if you have an established plant in need of lots of space - think trees and large shrubs! The spacious depth and width allow plenty of room for deep root systems without struggling for air or light.

No matter what size you choose, MyGreenscape has got you covered, with our pot sizes chart guaranteeing you find the perfect fit every time!
