i have some rubber plants the green ones and burgundy ones and the green ones have around 25 inch tall and they are in a small pot , they have been in that pot for around a year and still using same soil as when i repoted them from the nursery pots they came in , my question should i leave them in those pots or should i change them to a larger pots ????? i have them indoors in the balcony and when there is some wind they have fallen : ( , and some have broken either at middle or at near the soil top as seen in one of the pictures, and regarding the one that its stem broke at near the soil top , should i leave it like that or should i split that plant in 2 plants ( the complete one and the broken one ) cause as you can see it doesnt look so estetic good looking : ( , and one of the green ones is tending to bend and arch and the lower leaves are sort of leaning down and not in leveled or upward is this normal or has it to with either the soil or the small pot or something else ?????
i have read rubber plants like sort of being on the dry side of the soil so i let the soil dry out before watering again , but the soil after 3 or 4 days dries out again , could be the soil they have no longer usable and i need to take out that old soil and refill-replant them with new fresh soil ??????
around 3 months i feed them with pellet fertilizer ( the small ones similiar to osmocote ) is this the corect fertilizing method for them or not ? or should i use something else ?
regarding the burgundy rubber plants they also fell cause of the wind toping them down and had to replant the top part that broke in another plant , comparing the 2 types ( green and burgundy ) the green ones seem to grow more than the burgundy , is this apreciation correct or is it something that also has to do with the pots , fertilizing, watering , light method ?????
also on the burgundy at the lower leaves some brown -burned type areas show , what could that be , and what could be done to correct it ????
im planing to take the plants one green and one burgundy to the office , it has air condition at around 68 F and has bright fluorecent lights in the ceiling so , would you say they can be in that ambient ???? have read they are good air cleaners and would like to have them there for that and for their good looks , so would like your sugestions and advices , thanks in advanced
