Rubber tree is a kind of green plant that is easy to maintain, but some flower friends also report that the leaves will appear macula and fall off. Today, flowers will introduce some tips for protecting rubber trees.

The leaves of rubber trees will appear macula and fall off, mostly due to these three reasons:

1. Lighting problem

Rubber trees like bright astigmatism, shade tolerance is good, but if the long-term lack of light, the leaves will not be able to carry out photosynthesis to form chlorophyll, the natural leaves will appear macula, and finally make the whole leaves yellow and fall off.

With the advent of summer, the sun is getting stronger and stronger, it is easy to burn leaves and appear yellowing, scorched leaves, if the light is too strong, it will be moved to a cool place for maintenance.

2. Lack of nutrients

The rubber tree grows very fast in the growing period and needs a lot of nutrients. When the nutrients are insufficient, it will stop growing, the leaves will lose luster, and there will be macular fallen leaves and so on.

Therefore, during the growing period, there should be enough nutrients for its growth, and nitrogen fertilizer should be applied mainly, 2-3 times a month, or you can bury some eggshell powder into the basin soil to provide it with sufficient nitrogen fertilizer to promote its better growth and make the leaves more glossy.

3. Normal aging

Some old leaves have a slow metabolism and will slowly turn yellow and finally fall off. this kind of leaf is very easy to carry diseases and insects and should be trimmed off in time, otherwise it is easy to infect healthy leaves, and it should be pruned irregularly to trim some old and residual leaves to avoid excessive consumption of nutrients, which can promote the germination and growth of new leaves.
