How to grow rubber trees

1. Temperature

The suitable growth temperature for rubber trees is between 20 and 25 degrees. Its cold resistance is weak. If the temperature is too low in winter, it will cause a large number of leaves to fall. In northern regions it is best to move indoors for the winter.

2. Soil

Rubber trees prefer sandy soil, preferably fertile, loose and well-ventilated. When preparing the soil yourself, you can use leaf mold and garden soil to mix.

3. Fertilization

When fertilizing it, you can apply liquid fertilizer once every 15 to 20 days, but avoid nitrogen fertilizer. When too much nitrogen fertilizer is applied, it will cause its branches to grow too long, affecting the beauty of the plant.

4. Watering

Rubber trees like a humid environment, but don't water them too much to cause waterlogging. In spring and autumn, just keep the soil in the pot moist. The water demand is high in summer and watering is required every day. The temperature is low in winter, so just keep the soil dry when watering.
