Rubber Plant Baby: Safe to Separate and Repot

Your rubber plant (Ficus elastica) has a baby at the base. Yes, you can separate it:

1. Gently unpot the mother plant.
2. Tease apart roots carefully—don't damage main root ball.
3. Pot the baby in its own container with fresh mix.
4. Repot mother. Water both. Keep warm, bright, humid.

High success rate. The baby already has its own root system.
