Not only do our gardens burst into life in spring, but our houseplants also wake up. One plant give some attention in April is your rubber plant (Ficus elastica). From pruning to encourage fuller growth, to fertilizing, and cleaning its foliage, there's much to be done this month to set your rubber plant up for a productive season.
I've been growing my rubber plant for a few years now (I actually have a variegated rubber plant, like this from Lowe's), and the one thing to always boost its growth is pruning in spring, alongside adjusting care for the warmer and brighter conditions. In fact, neglecting to do these things in April can result in minimal growth for the season.
