Rubber Tree Leaf Drop Indoors

Why Rubber Trees Shed Leaves in Containers

Rubber tree lost all original leaves; new ones wilt and fall. Watered weekly, in low-light window over a vent.

Fixes

• Heat vent dries air—mist frequently to raise humidity.
• Water weekly, but don't overwater.
• Repot from black nursery pot into larger container with drainage.
• Likely root-bound; loosen roots at repotting.
• Watch for spider mites.
