Moonshine Rubber Plant

Say hello to the Moonshine Rubber Plant — the ultimate cool kid of the Ficus family! 🪴🌙 With its dreamy, silvery-green leaves and effortless elegance, this stunner will instantly level up your space. Plus, it's tough, forgiving, and (best of all) pretty low-maintenance. Ready to help your Moonshine thrive? Let’s dive in!

🌞 Light: Bright, Please!
Moonshine loves bright, indirect light to keep its soft, silvery tones looking their best. It can handle a little morning sun, but too much harsh, direct sunlight can scorch those gorgeous leaves.

Bonus Tip:
If the leaves start looking a little dull or the plant gets leggy, it's asking for a little more light. Rotate it every couple of weeks for nice, even growth!

💦 Watering: Consistency is Key
Keep it steady and simple: water when the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry. Moonshine likes a drink but hates soggy feet. Make sure your pot drains well, and always dump out any extra water from saucers.

Bonus Tip:
In winter, it slows its roll — so cut back on watering and let it dry out a little more between drinks.

🌡️ Temperature: Warm and Cozy, Please
This beauty thrives between 65°F – 85°F (18°C – 29°C). Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature drops — it’s not a fan of chillier vibes!

Bonus Tip:
If the temps dip below 55°F (13°C), your Moonshine might start to sulk and drop leaves. Keep it cozy!

🌱 Humidity: Loves a Little Extra Glow
Moonshine Rubber Plants like moderate humidity but aren’t too fussy. They'll thrive in normal home conditions, but if the air’s super dry (especially in winter), a little misting now and then won't hurt.

Bonus Tip:
Grouping it with other plants or using a pebble tray can give it the extra humidity boost it loves — especially if you notice crispy edges.

🌿 Soil: Light and Fast-Draining
Moonshine needs a well-draining mix to stay happy. A combo of indoor potting soil + a handful of perlite is perfect to keep roots breathing easy.

Bonus Tip:
Want to be extra safe? Add a layer of chunky bark or coarse sand to really boost drainage!

🌳 Potting & Repotting: Every Couple of Years
This plant grows steadily but doesn’t mind hanging out in its pot for a bit. Repot every 2-3 years or if you see roots trying to break free.

Bonus Tip:
Spring is the best time to repot! Go just one size up — oversized pots hold too much moisture, which can lead to rot.

🧹 Cleaning: Keep Those Leaves Gleaming
Moonshine’s broad leaves LOVE to collect dust — and they look extra gorgeous when clean. Gently wipe them down with a damp cloth every couple of weeks to keep that glow strong.

Bonus Tip:
Skip any leaf shine products — plain water is perfect!

⚡ Troubleshooting: What to Watch For

  • Drooping Leaves: Thirsty or overwatered? Check the soil before giving it a drink.

  • Brown Spots or Crispy Edges: Low humidity or too much sun. Adjust its spot or mist it lightly.

  • Yellowing Leaves: Could be overwatering. Let the soil dry out more between drinks!
