# This amazing rubber plant (RUBERT IS HIS NAME) arrived in excellent…

_Posted by Plantingsherry on 2026-07-07_

This amazing rubber plant (RUBERT IS HIS NAME) arrived in excellent condition from an Amazon seller. I was worried about the white spots on the leaves and I asked Planta AI and they said it’s a normal part of the plant. It’s calcium storage in the leaves. That’s pretty good information!

Ohh the white spots are on mine too. lol I thought it was dust.

### plantgeek commented on 2026-07-07

a lot of plants do this! it's mineral deposits from tap water. you can usually wipe them off with a damp cloth, it's not going to be used by the plant if it's already sitting on the leaves like that

### con commented on 2026-07-07

it’s dried water lol

#### Plantingsherry replied on 2026-08-11

No not the dried water. The little white dots are calcium. All the rubber plants have it.

Good to know about the white spots - I have them too! And mine came in the mail looking just like yours. His name is MAC and he needs a new house and a haircut, but here’s how it’s going 😊

How tall is he?

#### Stacy Leigh replied on 2026-07-11

Almost 5 feet!

#### Plantingsherry replied on 2026-08-23

Gorgeous!

### R Plant lover commented on 2026-07-08

Yeah, the white spots don't mean anything, but I think it adds a nice look to the plant!

### Cooper commented on 2026-07-14

I got one of these last week! Rubert is a cool name lol … I have decided not to name any plants until they make it an entire season with me

#### Plantingsherry replied on 2026-08-11

Oh yeah. That’s absolutely my policy too. I try so hard and so many of them come to me from a crappy little store like Walmart, looking gorgeous, gorgeous, and then gradually decline until they die! And I really try so hard.

#### Plantingsherry replied on 2026-08-11

It’s my NEW policy now that I’ve realized that at least one and five are probably not going to make it in my inexperienced hands.
