Hello everyone, I have a beautiful indoor tree that I have located in the same room where I keep my budgies (small birds). It was a present from my Fiance's Mother. I was instructed to water it when the soil was dry. Having an orchid that I take very good care of I know there is alot more then just watering a plant. But before I can even begin to research on how to give the tree the proper care it needs I need to know what type of indoor tree it is! Can someone please tell me if you know what type of indoor tree it is? ( I have just joined the site and I apologize if I put this in the wrong section.)
How it is there is no saucer under the pot? Doesn't the pot have drainage holes? If so, the first thing you should do is to remove the plant from the pot, make holes at the bottom of the pot and repot the plant. Or you could try to make the holes without removing the plant. There should be three to four dime size drainage holes at the bottom of a pot of this size. Another thing that caught my attention is the proximity of the electric heater. I would never keep any plant so close to a heater.
That's how it is in modern buildings, Sundrop. You get light and a heater, or no heater and no light. Every window I have has a heater underneath it. Fortunately, I don't think a potted rubber tree has to be right up at a window. It's not going to flower anyway. Welcome to the forums, babygirllove.
