Ficus Elastica Overview

Description:

The Ficus elastica, commonly known as the rubber tree or rubber plant, is a popular houseplant known for its large, glossy leaves and its relatively easy care. 

Grow Zones:

Ficus rubber trees are typically grown as indoor plants in most regions, but they can be grown outdoors in USDA hardiness zones 10 to 12. In these zones, the climate is warm enough year-round for the rubber tree to thrive outdoors.

Height and Width:

Height: Indoors, it can grow to 6-10 feet (1.8-3 meters), while outdoors, it can reach 50-100 feet (15-30 meters) in its natural habitat.

Width: Indoor plants typically spread about 2-4 feet (0.6-1.2 meters), but outdoor plants can have a much wider spread.

Growing Tips: 

Light:

Indoors: Place the rubber tree in a spot with bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, but too much can scorch its leaves. Low light conditions can lead to slower growth and leggy stems.

Outdoors: If grown outside in suitable zones, it should be placed in a location with partial shade to protect it from harsh midday sun.

Soil:  Ficus plants prefer well-draining soil. A mix designed for houseplants or one you prepare with garden soil, peat, and perlite works well.

Watering:  For indoor ficus, water thoroughly, then allow the top 1-2 Inches of soil to dry out before watering again. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so make sure the plant is not sitting in water.  For outdoor ficus, water regularly, especially during dry periods, but avoid waterlogging the soil.

Temperature:  Ficus plants prefer temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C). Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 55°F (13°C), as this can cause leaf drop.

Humidity:  Ficus plants enjoy higher humidity levels. If grown indoors, misting the leaves or using a humidifier can help during dry seasons, especially in winter when indoor air tends to be dry.

Fertilization:
Feed ficus plants with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding during the fall and winter months when growth slows.

Pruning:  Prune ficus plants to maintain shape and remove any dead or yellowing leaves. For bushier growth, you can trim the ends of the branches.

Repotting:  Ficus should be repotted every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is one Size larger, and refresh the soil.

Propagation:  Ficus can be propagated by cuttings. Take a healthy stem cutting with several leaves, dip it in rooting hormone, and place it in moist soil or water until roots develop.

Pest Control:  Keep an eye out for common pests like spider mites, scale, and mealybugs.  Wipe the leaves regularly with a damp cloth and use insecticidal soap or neem oil if needed. Yellowing leaves can indicate overwatering, while brown tips may suggest underwatering or low humidity.

Great Sequel to Long Halloween
Format: Paperback
This takes all of the great elements of the Long Halloween and keeps it going. The two of those books together is a great story telling. Ticks all the boxes of a great Batman book. If you like this and Long Halloween check out The Penguin show on HBO Max. and if you like The Penguin but haven't read these two books you should since the show pulls a lot of influence from them.

The Best BATMAN Tale since YEAR ONE.
When I first started reading Scott Snyder's run on DETECTIVE COMICS, I was unfamiliar with his work. It seemed like they had just grabbed a new name after arcs done by distinguished writers such as Grant Morrison (which I actually thought was terrible during his RIP arc), Greg Rucka (who did a brilliant job with bringing the character of Batwoman into the fold), and Paul Dini (whose work ranged from not great to just about perfect). Snyder just seemed like a Johnny-Come-Lately, and the previous arc on DETECTIVE had been particularly disappointing, but alas I had faith that another solid arc was due for the Darkknight Detective, so I kept collecting. Nothing could have made me happier, since Snyder and his partners in crime, artists Jock and Francesco Francavilla had crafted the most solid, unified and smartest Batman tale since Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli's eponymous BATMAN: YEAR ONE. Not to get too bogged down in plot detail, but essentially, the "Black Mirror" arc begins with Dick Grayson as The Batman (since Bruce Wayne was too busy fighting his way through time... argh...) and he's closing in on a secret auction where 'collectibles' of Gotham's most notorious villains are being sold to an elite crowd of wealthy degenerates, such as Scarecrow's fear gas and the crowbar actually used to beat Jason Todd almost to death. The main villain of the piece is hardly Batman's most powerful enemy, but it does leave some psychic scars on Dick. Next Dick is forced to deal with a dead woman found in an office building. Hardly worth Batman's specific attention, but what is is that the woman's body was found inside a dead killer whale's mouth in an office building. Making matters more complicated is that the woman this murder is sending a message to is actually the daughter of Tony Zucco, the gangster responsible for the death of Dick's parents. While these stories are exciting, well-crafted and beautifully rendered by Jock, we enter a much more personal tale of Commissioner Gordon: the return of his son James Jr., who we haven't seen much of at all in his life. Apparently, James Jr. is a psychotic who is taking a new anti-psychotic medication and hopes to return back to society in some way. This becomes a very personal tale for the Gordon family, including Gordon's ex-wife Barbara and of course his daughter Barbara, formerly Batgirl and now the wheelchair-confined information gatherer Oracle. These interludes are illustrated by the brilliant Francavilla, whose every page looks like it's suitable for framing. Unfortunately for everyone involved, Jr. is not exactly what he seems to be and this leads to a small-scale but highly emotionally charged finale. Scott Snyder did several things in this book that very few before him were able to do successfully. First and foremost, he captured the essence of Dick Grayson bearing the responsibility of being Batman. It's not something he shirks from, but he does feel out of place living in Bruce's penthouse and basically taking the mantle of Batman is no small matter. He is more emotional than Bruce and has more issues with his own fears. Second is that he's one of the few writers to really get the essence of Batman being a detective. While Dick is not as brilliant as Bruce, he was trained by the best, and Batman is not just a machine of brute force dispensing justice with his fists and cool gadgets; he's also considered the world's greatest detective and it's always exciting to see an author with a good handle on that aspect of Batman. Third is Snyder's awareness of Gotham not just being a city, but as being an integral character in the adventures of Batman. There's a darkness to the city that the good people strive to rise above, which is why the partnership of Batman and Jim Gordon has been the lifeline of Gotham's survival. Also on wonderful display here is Snyder's understanding of the supporting cast. He gives all of them equal and necessary life in the story, and has a superb handle on their individual characters. In the few years since Snyder started in this business, first gaining prominence on AMERICAN VAMPIRE (which is another breath of fresh air to a dying genre) and then his work on DETECTIVE gaining him even greater accolades, he has become possibly the best writer currently at DC. Several people, including myself have heralded him as the next Alan Moore. He has an understanding of character, dialogue and structure that is unusual and continually striking. He's been the standout star of DC's "New 52", continuing his work on Batman with as well as bringing back one of DC's greatest horror titles, . He has also continued to establish himself as one of comic's premier horror writers by doing the best horror comic in years over at Image Comics called (you can find my review of that book via that link), as well as doing a mini-event that explores the beginnings of Gotham City in . THE BLACK MIRROR is a Batman classic that people will still be discussing in years to come, as well as his other work in the field. I couldn't suggest more highly picking up any of his books. It doesn't get much better.
