Question
I received a plant for my mothers funeral and wanted to know if i can plant it outside> And if so where? when? and how?

Answer
Hi Linda,

Unless you live in south Florida or Zone 10, then you will not be able to plant your rubber tree outside. However, it can stay in its existing pot and go outside for the summer in an area where it is shaded and protected form direct sun. Bring it back inside when temps start to fall below 50 degrees.

Please let me know if any of this is unclear or if you have any additional questions.
