Re: Rubber plant?
Thanks, Julie, and everyone who replied off the list...I'd suspected I might have to
repot, so this just confirms it. Should be an adventure, repotting my first plant ;)
One further question: is there a plant better suited to a darker location. I've got a
corner that doesn't get much light...a weeping fig would look great there but I know
they need light. Anyone have suggestions for a larger (i.e. 4 or 5 ft or more)
treelike plant that might do well? One that preferably thrives no matter what a
beginner like me might do to it?
Thanks again
Dale
