About this deal

On the more social side of life, as I mentioned initially, you had to get a pass to get out. The Senior Assistant, who eventually became my brother-in-law, and I became friendly and he was very good in giving me lifts up to the time when I managed to get a small car of my own, and we often went to Kuala Lumpur to see the bright lights. The soil requirement is well-drained, weathered soil consisting of laterite, lateritic types, sedimentary types, nonlateritic red or alluvial soils.

The most compact rubber plant yet is the “Petite Golden,” reaching only 8 to 12 inches in height. As the name implies, this variety has a bright yellowish-green color to the leaves that are similar to the Sumo rubber plant. The key differentiating factor between it and ‘Sumo’ is its long, slender leaves that taper toward their tips. Heisey, R.M.; Papadatos, S. (1995).

No matter which one you choose, though, they all need a similar care routine. Where can I buy a rubber tree?

When repotting or re-potting, spray new soil from top to bottom (don’t spray directly on the plant). This will help prevent transferring insects into the pot. Always wash cutting tools between plants.

To give your rubber plant daily maintenance to increase the humidity and keep your plant looking fresh, especially in summer, there are two things you can do. First, use a spray bottle to mist the air around your plant. Secondly, you can use a damp cloth to provide some moisture direct to the leaves and wipe off any dust that has collected. 9.

Natural rubber is used extensively in many applications and products, either alone or in combination with other materials. In most of its useful forms, it has a large stretch ratio and high resilience and also is water-proof. [ citation needed] Like most ficus plants, getting the right temperature and humidity in your home is important for your rubber plant to grow healthy, especially during a hot dry summer. For proper rubber plant care, they need warm temperatures between 60 degrees and 75 degrees with medium to high humidity, so don’t leave them near an air-conditioner!

For indoor plants, drainage holes are less important because you have more control over how much water your rubber tree gets. Drainage holes plant pots @ chercherish / Getty Images 5. Composting The replanting unit itself was part of the company and they went from one Estate to the next Estate each year, or stayed on an Estate for two years depending on what the replanting programme schedule was. In our case they stayed and cut terraces round some of the small hills, which previously I mentioned had been done by hand, and also they constructed new roads through the 250 acres to make the extraction of latex much easier, and access from the point of view of supervision and provision for that replant easier. This was a job which I had never had before, but it required the road route to be surveyed to see that it was not too steep to be used by normal Estate vehicles, the majority of which were 4 x 4, or the equivalent of. At the time prior to planting all the lining, which was the direction in which the trees would be planted, was pegged out by, again, a contractor and eventually when all was ready, and the weather was ready too, which was usually at the beginning of the monsoon, replanting would actually take place of the new seedlings or budded trees. A seedling is literally as it states a seedling grown from seed, and those trees eventually normally become slightly triangular in shape from the base of the tree at ground level to a height of maybe 10 to 15 feet, but not excessively so. Whereas a budded tree or stump has been grown in a nursery for maybe two or three years, and then has been bud grafted as is used in this country for all sorts of fruit trees and roses; standard practice of budding a hard growing, healthy bud patch into the stump in the nursery. Now this patch which would contain the bud in many cases was part of the new, approved, higher yielding type, or clones as they were known, of rubber. So one of the main factors was to try and plant a better quality tree than had been there previously, which would produce more latex over a shorter period than previously, which then meant you could replant with an even better type of clone, higher yielding, stronger, which meant that you were utilising the ground far more than had been done before the Second World War, when, as I mentioned the span of life of a rubber tree could be anything up to thirty years before they were replanted. Whereas on this particular Estate and many others the life of a tree would be only about twenty years, four or five of which was immaturity and the rest was when they were producing rubber.

The diseases which we were liable to get in rubber were quite considerable and required very careful observation and, if necessary, a considerable amount of work to eradicate them. There were root diseases which meant that you had to dig round all of the roots, remove the growths that were damaged, seal them up with tar, the cut ends, and then re-fill the trenches which had been dug round the tree. We also got diseases on the tapping panel, particularly during the monsoon, which could, if not treated, kill the tree and therefore a considerable loss to the Estate. On the other hand, when lots of leaves drop, this means it needs more light and you should move your houseplant closer to a window to get more natural light. Rook, J.J. (1955).
