Rubber trees like a lot of light when indoors and well draining soil. Whenever I see these guys in person not doing too well it’s usually from lack of light.

I have a grow light, is this more direct or indirect light?

Hmm, maybe it’s not from lack of light then, as I use grow lights too and my Ficus’ are thriving. Maybe your lights aren’t as strong? Before grow lights I had my Rubber Trees right in a South facing window. If you don’t see any pests maybe it’s a problem with the roots then.

Sorry I meant I have one and was wondering if I can use this on my rubber tree. I haven’t seen any insects and I do my best to not over water. I have a sun run facing the north and east. Building will reflect light during the summer. Where this is place parts of it will never get enough light
