Care, for this one in particular
The Rubber Plant wants bright, indirect light and watering when the top 2 inches dry out. Get those two right and the rest is easy.
Reading the light
Bright indirect means lots of daylight but no harsh direct sun on the leaves.
Watering without fear
Check the top inch of soil with a finger before reaching for the can.
