The easy-care rubber tree is quite warmth-loving. He feels particularly comfortable at temperatures between 20 °C and 25 °C. It does not tolerate drafts or waterlogging. To thrive, it should be watered little and fertilized only rarely.
The rubber tree can spend the summer outdoors
Unfortunately, the rubber tree is not hardy. As a houseplant, it doesn't need it either. He likes to spend the summer outside. However, temperatures below 10 °C can damage it. So bring the rubber tree back into the house in good time in the fall.
The essentials in brief:
- ideal growth temperature: around 20 °C
- Hibernation possible at approx. 12 °C to 15 °C
- Summer freshness at at least 16 °C
- not hardy
- Temperatures below 10 °C can cause damage

In winter, your rubber tree can be a little cooler, but not at temperatures below 12 °C.
