Rubber tree plants do best in a tropical climate. They should be okay in South Carolina during th hot summer but will need to be watered on a regular basis. In the winter you should probably bring them inside.

Yes, rubber trees grow best in mild climates. In South Carolina, they will grow fine as well. You just need to proceed with caution in terms of planting them. You want to be using the best soil that contains enough nutrients for the plant to grow well. Also, you should water it daily.

YES as this is a tropical plant. Keep indoors under a grow light ($10 at Wal Mart) during the winter months, and careful not to over water.

No, there is no restriction on where you can grow the plant. You need them to grow in a dry climate. I'm sure they will grow fine as long as you water them and take proper care.

Rubber trees are indigenous to tropical rain forests, so South Carolina will probably be less than ideal. If growing the rubber tree outdoors, the hot summer weather of South Carolina will be fine, but during winter there might be some problems. In addition, the rubber tree will need a lot of water, not normally provided by the normal rainfall.
