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!

    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

      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 😊

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

    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

      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.

      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.
