What to do if the rubber tree does not grow new leaves

1. Fertilizer and water:

1. Some plants need a relatively large amount of fertilizer during their growth process. If the fertilizer is insufficient or does not meet their needs, the plants will likely grow very slowly. Conversely, new leaves may not be able to grow due to lack of sufficient fertilizer.

2. So at this time we should consider increasing the amount of fertilizer and water, and we need to apply the right fertilizer. In the summer, a season with relatively high temperatures, this plant grows relatively quickly, so we can apply more fertilizer and increase the amount of water appropriately. It is best to use phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, which help it grow quickly. You can spray fertilizer regularly once a week.

3. At the same time, you can bury some bone meal in the soil, but don’t bury it too deep. Ordinary agricultural fertilizer can be used as water fertilizer. Dissolve 5% of it in water and then pour it on the roots or spray it on the surface of the leaves. Please note that the fertilizer must be dilute, otherwise it will easily burn the roots.

2. Water volume:

Although it requires a lot of fertilizer and water, you also need to be careful not to allow water to accumulate in the soil in the pot for a long time. It is enough to keep it moist. If water accumulates too frequently, it may damage the roots of the plant.

3. Repotting damages the roots:

There is also a situation where it is caused by inadaptability. After repotting, the roots may be damaged. At this time, the plant will enter a dormant state, and we can wait for it to repair itself. Generally speaking, if you choose to repot it in winter, then it is now in a dormant state and it is not easy to grow new leaves. Just wait patiently until spring comes, and then it will naturally grow new leaves. If you don't change the pot in winter, it will return to normal after a month.
