1、 Soil

Rubber trees do not have strict requirements for soil. They are loose and fertile, and have a certain ability to maintain water and fertilizer. Rotten leaf soil and garden soil can be mixed evenly in the proportion of 1:2. If conditions permit, a little sand can be added to pervade the soil, so as to meet the growth needs of rubber trees

2、 Moisture

Water must be sufficient. Except during dormancy, sufficient water should be ensured at other times, but there should be no ponding, which will lead to rotten roots of the plant

3、 Fertilization

Rubber trees also have high requirements for fertilizer. During maintenance, thin liquid fertilizer can be applied every 7 to 10 days to meet its growth needs

4、 Illumination

Rubber trees need full sunlight during their growth, so they can grow well under the sunlight. For example, the leaves will grow in size, thickness and shape, the internodes will be close, and the terminal buds will be bright red. The dark environment will make the leaves smaller, the internodes longer, the branches weak, the terminal buds small, and the green changes from red to green, losing the ornamental characteristics

5、 Pest control

Rubber trees have relatively few diseases and insect pests, and occasionally have the harm of scale insects. It is OK to remove them in time after they are found

6、 Precautions

Rubber tree likes high temperature and is afraid of cold, so it should be properly protected below 10 degrees, and it will be damaged by freezing below 5 degrees. It needs full light cultivation, and it must be exposed to sunlight to make the plant shape normal and beautiful. Rubber tree is especially fond of water and fertilizer. Only sufficient water and fertilizer can meet its normal growth needs
