How To Grow Ficus Elastica From Seeds:

• The seeds should be scattered on the surface of your potting mixture.  
• Keep them damp and provide filtered sunlight at about 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit.
• The seeds need light to germinate, so do not cover them.
• Seeds may take more than one season to germinate. 
• The soil should be garden compost, water permeable and rich in humus.
• They can be fertilized every 2-3 weeks in the warmer months. 
• It should be kept in a bright windowsill, but not in complete sunlight.
