Recovering a Sunburned Rubber Tree Cutting: Shade, Fish Emulsion, and Time

Rubber Tree (Ficus elastica) Bleached by Sun

Rubber trees need bright indirect light only. Direct sun bleaches leaves.

Recovery

  • Move to dappled shade (under a tree or covered deck).
  • Water normally.
  • Feed with fish emulsion to encourage new growth.
  • Be patient—recovery takes weeks.

The damaged leaves won't revert; new ones will be healthy.
