Rubber Tree Leaf Drop After Repotting: Light and Water Fixes

Post-Repot Decline in Ficus elastica

Leaf drop after moving to a larger pot usually means overwatering (excess soil holds water) + insufficient light.

Immediate Actions

Water only when surface is dry (max once/week).
Empty saucer via turkey baster after 1 hour.
Move to south window with curtains open all day.
Monitor for 1 month.

Rubber trees hate "swamp" conditions. Bright light + dry-down = recovery.
