Rubber Fig Tree Seeds . 
 
HOW TO GROW RUBBER FIG TREES :

Step 1
Soak seeds to break dormancy in pre-boiled water that has cooled to the touch but is still hot (approximately 65°C / 150°F) for 10 minutes. A diluted bleach & vinegar (or citric acid) solution 70% warm water, 15% bleach & 15% vinegar solution for 12 hours will also help break the dormancy of this species, as will soaking in GA³ for 24 hours.
Step 2
Sow seeds onto the surface of a well draining seed raising mix or peat moss and gently press to ensure the seeds make good contact with the soil. Leave uncovered. These seeds MUST stay moist at all times, drying out of the medium (peat/soil) will kill the seeds embryo quite quickly once germination inside the seed has begun.
Step 3
A warm greenhouse or windowsill in a well lit but not direct full sun location is necessary for germination. If your temperatures are not tropical cover pot/s with plastic wrap or glass (this will keep warmth and humidity inside pot and also help retain moisture). Keep soil moist at all times during germination but not soaking wet, as this can rot your seeds. Optimal soil temperature for germination is 25-28 °C / 77-83°F. Germination begins at approximately 1-3 weeks in optimal conditions.
Step 4
Once germination has begun, if pots/tray are covered with plastic wrap or glass etc, leave a corner uncovered to allow air circulation and assist seedlings in adapting to the environment outside. Removing completely if appropriate over 1-2 weeks.
Step 5
Ficus can be transplanted if necessary once they have at least 2-4 true leaves. While young they prefer a part shaded position but will cope with full sun when mature and hardened off. They prefer a well draining, nutrient rich soil and will become drought tolerant as they mature. Ficus are best kept in pots until they are at least 2 years old, this way they are nice and strong before planting out in Spring. If planting into the garden to grow a full sized tree, please note that the roots can be damaging to pathway and other structures - Be sure to plant away from any buildings. Not recommended out of pot growth for average sized back yards. Most commonly grown as an indoor plant. Fertilise in Spring during the growing season. Will not require much watering, if any outdoors during the winter. Prune during winter as required.
