How to grow rubber trees well

1. Lighting

Rubber trees are relatively shade-tolerant and will grow more slowly in a cool environment, but they will not become poorly grown in a short period of time. However, if it is kept in a cool environment for a long time, it is likely to stop growing. Only by allowing it to receive sufficient sunlight can it grow faster and better. Not only that, the leaves will also be more beautiful and the branches will be thicker.

2. Moisture

If you want to grow it well, you cannot let it be in a state of long-term water shortage. Water shortage will delay normal growth and even cause death, so water it in moderation. Observe the soil before watering. When it is slightly dry, you can water it in moderation. Always keep the soil moist but without water accumulation.

3. Proper pruning

If it is not pruned in time, it will grow wildly and consume a lot of nutrients, so it is best to prune it properly in spring. Not only can it reduce nutrient consumption, but it can also cut off old leaves and yellow and diseased leaves, so that the rubber tree can grow better.

4. Repotting

Repotting can also help it grow better. When repotting, pour out the rubber tree. If the soil in the pot is dry, water it appropriately first. Be sure not to pull it out directly, as that will easily damage the roots. After repotting, water it thoroughly and place it in a cool and ventilated place. After new leaves grow, you can maintain it normally and it will grow better.
