What kind of soil is good for potted rubber trees?

1. Soil selection

Rubber trees have certain requirements for cultivation soil. The soil used must meet the requirements of being loose and permeable, with good drainage, and must also contain certain nutrients. Growing rubber trees in this kind of soil can make it easier for its roots to breathe and also allow the plant to better absorb nutrients in the potting soil. Generally, people prepare the soil for potted plants by themselves. They can use pine needle soil, garden soil and river sand, and add a small amount of base fertilizer before use.

Generally speaking, as long as the prepared soil is suitable for its growth, it can also be prepared with leaf mold, garden soil, river sand and base fertilizer. If you can't find leaf mold at home, you can replace it with peat soil, and cake fertilizer residue can be used as base fertilizer.

2. Precautions

No matter what kind of soil you use, it should be disinfected before use because there may be bacteria and insect eggs in the soil. If used directly, it will damage the root system of the plant, and its roots will easily rot over time. Especially when using old soil that has been used before, strict disinfection work must be carried out.
