What is the reason for the rubber tree to shed its leaves?

1. Pot soil compaction

Reason: Soil is the basis for the growth of rubber trees. If the soil is not repotted for a long time, it will become hardened and blocked, making it difficult for the roots to grow normally, causing breathing difficulties and suffocation. The ability to transport water and nutrients will be hindered, and the leaves will fall off.

Measures: Change the flower pots once every spring. If the soil is not changed for a long time, it is necessary to loosen the soil in time to maintain the air permeability of the soil.

2. Improper water and fertilizer

Reason: During the growth of the rubber tree, if the water and fertilizer applied are unreasonable, it likes large amounts of fertilizer and water. If it is not fertilized or watered for a long time, the lack of nutrients will lead to weak growth and the leaves will turn yellow. Applying too much can also have an impact, burdening the root system, which can lead to root rot.

Measures: Apply water and nutrients reasonably, make specific adjustments, reduce the amount or apply appropriately.

3. Infections

Reason: If the rubber tree is not properly maintained, it will be harmed by diseases and its leaves will fall off.

Measures: After discovering diseased leaves, spray the pesticide in time, once every 7-10 days, and spray 2-3 times in succession to eliminate the bacteria and promote the rubber tree to resume growth.
