How do you water a rubber tree?

Rubber trees will lose their leaves if they are watered too frequently or if they are not watered for a long time. They must be watered frequently during their growth, especially in the hot season in midsummer. Because of the large evaporation, they not only need to be watered from the roots, but also need to be sprayed frequently from the leaves. However, the potted soil is too wet and easy to rot, so it must be watered when the potted soil is dry. Let's take a look at how the rubber trees are watered.

Before each watering, according to the situation of the basin soil, when the surface of the basin soil is white is a sign of lack of water, you can water at this time. As the rubber tree leaves are large, many, need more water, the growing period 2-3 days need to be watered, and often spray water to the leaves to keep the basin soil moist. Appropriate control of watering in winter, as long as the basin soil surface is slightly wet, do not water.
