How to take care of the newly bought rubber tree

1. How to deal with the rubber tree after buying it

When you buy a rubber tree, you need to trim the excess branches and leaves to ensure that nutrients are supplied to where they are needed. In addition, if it is still a small plant when you buy it, you need to fix the plant to prevent it from growing tilted.

2. How to cultivate the newly bought rubber tree

1. Temperature: Rubber tree is a tropical plant and prefers a relatively hot environment. After buying it, place it in a place where the indoor temperature is above 22 degrees Celsius for cultivation. It is best not to keep the temperature below 10 degrees Celsius for a long time, otherwise frostbite and other phenomena may occur, causing the plant's growth and development to stagnate.

2. Fertilization: It prefers fertilizer. However, since you have just bought it home, it is not appropriate to use high-concentration compound fertilizer for fertilization. You can use mild diluted farm fertilizer and apply it according to the specific situation.

3. Light: The newly purchased rubber tree needs to receive sufficient light. Be sure to place it in a sunny location so that it can fully absorb sunlight. This will help it adapt to the new environment. If you happen to encounter continuous rainy weather, you can use artificial lighting to extend the duration of lighting.
