The variegated rubber plant, often features striking reddish-pink tones on the outside of the green and cream foliage, and the sheath at the top of the stem is also a deep burgundy-red color. Although it's usually grown as a houseplant, in a climate with warm and humid winters, it can remain outdoors year-round.

Place the plant in an east-facing window or set it back from a south- or west-facing window. Avoid direct harsh afternoon sun.

Let the top couple of inches of potting mix dry out to the touch in between waterings. Deep watering once every one to two weeks during the growing season is usually enough, depending on the light and humidity in your home. Slightly underwatering is better than overwatering, as too much moisture leads to root rot.
