Is the rubber tree afraid of cold?

1. Is the rubber tree afraid of cold?

This type of plant has poor resistance to cold. In northern regions, due to the cold winter weather, it is difficult for this type of plant to survive the winter safely outdoors or indoors without heating. In winter, the leaves of the plant begin to change color, and the color is not as bright as before. The whole plant looks lifeless and vigorless, so you must carefully maintain the plant in winter to allow it to safely survive the cold winter.

2. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: After entering winter, make sure that the temperature in the environment where these plants grow is above 10°C; if there is no heating or air conditioning in the room of the grower, as long as the room temperature is >5°C, you can cover the plants with a thicker plastic bag at night, and remove the plastic bag after dawn, so that the plants can safely survive the winter.

2. Light: The sunlight is quite strong in summer, so you need to slightly shade the plants from the sun. The sunlight in autumn and winter is much weaker than that in summer. At this time, you can place the plants in a sunny place so that the plants can be fully exposed to the sunlight, making the color of the leaves brighter.

3. Watering: The growth rate of this type of plants is quite slow in winter. At this time, you should water the plants less and just keep the soil in the pot slightly moist.
