How to grow a potted rubber tree

1. Pot soil selection

Because its root system is relatively thick, the flowerpot you choose needs to be larger so as not to hinder its later growth. The soil inside can be made of nutrient-rich sandy soil, which should be fluffy and have a higher pH value.

2. Apply moisture

The demand for water is divided into time periods. In summer, when the temperature rises, the water demand is higher. You can water it more often and maintain the watering method of 1-2 times a day. In winter, because the water demand is less, you can reduce the application of water and only need to spray water on the leaves.

3. Apply fertilizer

During the peak growing season, apply thin fertilizer every 10 days, but note that in hot and cold weather, because the growth rate is slower, fertilization should be suspended to prevent the fertilizer from being unable to be absorbed and having the opposite effect.

4. Provide light

It can tolerate shade but does require light. It can be exposed to full light when the light is not very strong. This will help the leaves to be green and ensure good ornamental value. However, it cannot be exposed to the sun for a long time, otherwise the tips of the leaves will turn yellow and black.
