There are many reasons why rubber trees lose leaves. If the plant is not watered properly and the plant loses leaves due to lack of water, you can replenish or control the water appropriately. If the temperature is too low and the plants lose their leaves due to frostbite, you can increase the temperature appropriately to keep warm. If fertilization is improper and the plants produce fertilizer that will damage the leaves, you can flush the plant with water to dilute the overly concentrated fertilizer. If the ventilation is poor and the plants are losing leaves, you can open windows for more ventilation.

1. Improper watering

1. Improper watering

Cause: Without watering for a long time, the soil is too dry, and the rubber tree will lose leaves due to lack of water. If you water too frequently and the soil is too moist, the roots of the rubber tree will rot and the root system will lose its function of absorbing water. This will also cause the plant to lose water and drop its leaves.

Solution: When watering rubber trees, adhere to the watering principle of "see dry, see wet", insert a bamboo stick in the soil, pull it out and see if the bottom of the bamboo stick is dry before watering. , water each time until water flows out from the bottom of the basin.

2. The temperature is too low

< p>Reason: The climate is cold in winter. If the maintenance temperature is lower than 5℃, the rubber tree may be frostbitten. When there is slight frostbite, the rubber tree will lose its leaves.

Solution: In winter, ensure that the curing temperature is above 5°C. If the indoor curing temperature is low, you can put a bag on the rubber tree at night to keep it warm, and then open it for ventilation during the day.

3. Improper fertilization

Reason: If excessive fertilization or immature fertilizer and water are applied to domestic rubber trees, the plants are prone to fertilizer damage and crazy leaf loss, usually within 3 days after fertilization.

Solution: Pour a large amount of water into the pot soil, flush out the overly concentrated fertilizer and dilute it, then move the potted plant to a cool and ventilated place, and then maintain it normally.

4. Poor ventilation

Reason: The temperature is low in winter and the doors and windows are closed. If the maintenance environment is too stuffy, the rubber tree will lose its leaves.

Solution: When raising rubber trees, be sure to open windows frequently for ventilation, but avoid cold wind in winter to prevent rubber trees from freezing.
