    "I believe that people often water incorrectly. For example, if you water regularly once a week, but with volume of water too small to really saturate the whole root/soil mass, you may end up with dry pockets. Plants, even large plants, should be able to be watered thoroughly, but they should also not stand in water for days on end. Even a succulent plant will wilt if you water it every single day, but with just a sip of water. It would prefer to be drenched once per month."

    "Rubber trees are supposed to be able to do ok on fairly low light levels...although I do supplement the natural light [my plant receives] anyway. But more light is always very helpful whenever you are trying to get a plant to thrive again after being distressed in some way."
