Culture of the Rubber Plant is very simple. Keep its feet on the verge of being root bound, water three times a week, give manure water twice a month, and wash the handsome leaves with clean water at least once a month. Sun is unnecessary, yet the plant enjoys a well-lighted situation. Avoid re-potting until the roots are obviously pot-bound, and then only increase the size of the new container one size over.
Bye!!!!

They need bright light but no direct sunlight. As a general rule of thumb pot plants should only be re-potted when they become root bound - lift the plant out of the pot to check. Winter is always a good time for re-potting. See the URL for specific information on Rubber Plants

Repot them in the spring before they go back outside IF you can see roots coming out of the bottom of the pot. They don't mind being crowded. They do want a good amount of light inside, south window. Same for Jade.
